Description

To meet the demands of the A17-017 SBIR solicitation ("Same Frequency Simultaneous Transmit and Receive Radio for Military and Commercial Applications"), the MaXentric / FIU team proposes the STaRwAARS (Simultaneous Transmit and Receive with Agile Adjustable Response System), which realize >70 dB transmitter-to-receiver isolation cleverly combining dual-polarization antenna and non-reciprocal tunable N-path filters. During Phase I work, the team will trade-study dual-polarization antenna configuration, antenna modeling, high-power and high-linear N-path filter and full-duplex architecture to achieve >100 MHz signal bandwidth, >23 dBm output power, >10 dBm IIP3 and >20 dB jammer suppression at 1.1 times of the center frequency. During Phase II work, the team will demonstrate a SF-STaR radio prototype with tunable frequency capability.
