All Digital Receiver
OFFICE OF NAVAL RESEARCH
HYPRES has produced the world’s first All Digital Receiver (ADR) based on Superconducting MicroElectronics (SME). ADR is designed to demonstrate the ability to directly digitize and process multiple Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS) waveforms simultaneously from a single wideband digital sample, at an extremely high speed (40 GHz). HYPRES calls this process "Digital RF" as it combines for the first time, analog-to-digital and digital signal processing on the same device, running at the same 40 GHz clock speed. SME technology exceeds the processing capabilities of the best semiconductor analog-to-digital technology and greatly improves the performance of the JTRS and other military communication systems. The research was accomplished in collaboration with the State University of New York at Stony Brook, and other leading universities.
Applications
- Military and Commercial Significance:
- Army JTRS Cluster 1 Airborne and ground radio systems
- Air Force-Navy JTRS Airborne, Maritime & Fixed Station
- DoD SATCOM systems; Defense Communications Army Transmission System (DCATS)
- Commercial wireless base station infrastructure
- ADR provides critically needed transformational communications capabilities to Naval warfighters. HYPRES will use the ADR prototype to develop, in conjunction with the Army, Navy, and other DoD agencies, an All Digital Transceiver (ADT) product line for DoD JTRS and SATCOM. The ADT product, which has commercial wireless communication applications, combines reception and transmission in a compact, rugged form factor. The ADT dramatically improves transmission and reception performance. Its simplistic and efficient improvements substantially reduces cost, size, weight, and power consumption of JTRS and other systems. In addition to communications, applications in Signals Intelligence
- and Electronic Warfare are being pursued with various DoD agencies. HYPRES SME technology uniquely supports the high-speed wideband
- RF processing needs of emerging new DoD communications capabilities such as the Wideband Networking Waveform that is a critical innovation of the JTRS program.
