In response to the Navy’s SBIR solicitation N212-111 “Technology for Transmitting and Receiving Airborne, High-Speed, Wideband, Covert Communications”,  MaXentric proposes LEOPARD (Linear Efficiency Optimized Phased Array with Real-time DPD) to overcome the challenges of efficient, linear amplification for phased arrays.  LEOPARD is designed to support both single carrier and multi-carrier ...

The primary objective of this effort will be the development, demonstration, and validation of a new suite of modeling and simulation capability for Navy analysis needs. The tool suite will utilize a new framework for implementing components models that will allow users to more easily access multiple analytical domains, including steady-state on-design and dynamic off-design. A new suite of tools ...

The MaXentric team will develop a high-dynamic-range, high-power-handling, and high-survivability high frequency (HF) transmitter with significant enhancement in harmonic suppression and fast frequency hopping support. Covering a frequency range between 3 to 30 MHz, HF bands provide over-the-horizon communications across thousands of kilometers through skywave propagation as an alternative to sate ...

Candent Technologies is proposing to continue the development of its Phase I design of an advanced technology, electric driven air compressor for an aircraft Active Flow Control (AFC) system.  The Candent Team, utilizing its extensive turbomachinery design and development experience, along with their Academic partner, who used their expertise and state of the art technology to design the electric ...

Advancements in electronic warfare driven by sophisticated sensors and weapons are pushing shipboard power distribution systems to higher voltage, more power dense solutions. Reduced cost and increased flexibility necessitate solutions that are rapidly scalable and are characterized by longer life and lower maintenance. These objectives are in conflict, as increased power density reduces life and ...

(GEM), along with its team members, Professor Jinhui Yan at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), National Institute for Aviation Research (NIAR) at Wichita State University, Professor Dianyun Zhang at Composite Manufacturing and Simulation Center at Purdue University (PU), and Professor Yuri Bazilevs at Brown University, proposes to develop an inte ...

Global Engineering and Materials, Inc. (GEM), along with its team members, Professor Hang Yu at Virginia Tech (VT) and Professor Rajiv Mishra at the University of North Texas (UNT), propose to develop a multiphysics based PSPP (process-structure-property-performance) approach and its associated toolkit for tailoring of additive friction stir deposition (AFSD) repair of aluminum components for impr ...

Global Engineering and Materials, Inc. and Professor Jinhui Yan at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign propose to develop an Integrated Computational Materials Engineering simulation toolkit for optimal tailoring of gas flow in laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) and direct energy deposition (DED) to reduce defects (e.g., porosity and spatter) and surface roughness improve quality (e.g., mi ...

Global Engineering and Materials, Inc. (GEM) along with its team members, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), Weber Metals, and Spirit AeroSystems, proposes to develop and demonstrate a coupled framework based on the integrated computational materials engineering (ICME) and machine learning (ML) approach to optimize the quenching process with coupled thermal, metallurgical, and mechani ...

To meet the demands of the N211-086 “N-Polar Gallium Nitride High Electron Mobility Transistor in Low-Cost Process Technology for mm-wave Transceiver Applications” program, the MaXentric team proposes the ANTHEM (Amplifier using N-polar T-gate gallium nitride High Electron Mobility transistor), which provides E-band low noise amplifier (LNA) and transmit/receive (T/R) switch using a Nitrog ...
