Silicon Receiver for Millimeter Wave Distributed Aperture Imager with Optical Upconversion
SBC: Phase Sensitive Innovations, Inc. Topic: SB113003In this Phase II SBIR effort we will dramatically reduce the size, weight, and power requirements of a passive millimeter wave imaging system based on optical upconversion. To this end, we will integrate custom silicon-germanium low noise amplifiers that have been designed to efficiently couple with our high performance lithium niobate upconversion modules. In Phase I we analyzed the design requ ...

GPU-Based High-Performance Computing for Accelerated Design and Analysis
SBC: EM PHOTONICS INC Topic: SB082024Commodity graphics processing units (GPUs) offer tremendous computational throughput for relatively little cost. They have been shown to outperform microprocessors in the important metrics of FLOPS/dollar, FLOPS/Watt, and FLOPS/unit space and have already been applied to a wide range of numerically intense problems. In Phase I of this project, we demonstrated their potential to enhance complex C ...

A Handheld Sensor for Amorphous Coating Integrity Evaluation
SBC: ALPHASENSE, INC. Topic: SB093002Under the DARPA sponsored Naval Advanced Amorphous Coating (NAAC) program, a novel, thermal sprayed amorphous metal coating has been developed. Such a coating has demonstrated superior mechanical and corrosion resistance properties. Although the coating is designed to be life-of-ship, the application and operational conditions may compromise the integrity of the coating. For example, the applicati ...

Silicon Receiver for Millimeter Wave Distributed Aperture Imager with Optical Upconversion
SBC: Phase Sensitive Innovations, Inc. Topic: SB113003In this SBIR effort we will design (Phase I) and demonstrate (Phase II) an integrated silicon electronic-photonic upconversion receiver that when used with our photonic backend will allow for a highly sensitive, real-time, and economical millimeter wave (mmW) imaging system. The development of this chip leverages recent progress in CMOS and SiGe HBT high speed analog circuit design and integrates ...
