Description

Narrowband radio frequency emitters, despite their widespread industrial use and need for greater range, have not reached their limit in power output and SWAP-C2 considerations. Standing on a foundation of strong preliminary simulations (see Section IV) the investigators will show that a silicon-based drift step-recovery diode (Si-DSRD) system operated with non-linear reactive components can and will demonstrate all of the N201-010 phase I requirements. The proposed work is a mix of research and development. The research aims to find the limits of DSRD based pulse system frequency modulation that go beyond the phase I requirements while the objective of the development effort is to build, test and demonstrate a transition-capable Si-DSRD system that meets the phase I, and eventually the phase II, specific requirements.
