Description
Next generation satellite communication systems must be robust to hostile jammers which degrade link budget and desensitize reception. A proposed solution is to use frequency hopping techniques to communicate in a spectrum space free of hostile jammers and an all digital radio in which the agility and robustness is provided by high dynamic range and ENOB (16 bit) data-converters. To this end, broadband high dynamic range ADCs are needed to cover the broad-spectrum of interest allowing full coverage from GPS L1 to L2. To meet this demand, MaXentric proposes to take advantage of our previous program success in L-band ADC design Phase I and expertise in digital pre-distortion linearization correction. Our solution is comprised of classical pipelined ADC IC design married with advanced digital correction techniques to meet the solicitation of >100 MS/sec and ENOB of 16 bits.
