Applied Radar Inc. proposes the development of active MMIC-based circulators in order to achieve high isolation between transmit and receive paths for simultaneous transmit and receive (STAR) phased-array radar system architectures. This technology will enable increased persistence in intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) systems and allow multiple simultaneous radar modes including ...

Recent progress in the availability of low cost reinforced thermoplastic unidirectional tape provides a family of alternative composite systems for pultruded structures. Cost effective pultrusion of carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic resins will be demonstrated in the Phase I effort of this program. A significant increase in speed is expected with the use of pre- impregnated material that is no ...
