Ultra-Compact Power Conditioning System for High Power RF Transmitters

The proposal discusses the possible implementation of the high power density high voltage unit that can satisfy technical requirements of the unit defined in the DARPA SBIR Topic# SB171-010 (Ultra-Compact Power Conditioning System for High Power RF Transmitters). Paper summarizes the results of the work that was performed by CPE during Phase I in 2017. The electrical design of all critical power subsystems has been completed and conceptual mechanical design has been completed too. The Phase I results demonstrate feasibility of implementation of the unit in the required form factor. The scope of work that is necessary to bring TRL of the proposed unit to 6 and then to 7 is outlined for SBIR Phase II project along with the project cost and preliminary schedule.
