Hello ...(milstar)
...Your questions are definitely relevant to the work we do at GMR.
Regarding question 1.
The increase in dynamic range is very much dependent on the ADC type and
indeed the full RF front end. Our techniques increase the dynamic range
for ADCs and/or the entire RF front-end including the ADC. For example
in systems where the receiver amplifier (typically a low noise
amplifier) is a dominant factor in the linearity we can fix those
nonlinearities as well. In addition, we correct for other distortions
that are not harmonic in nature. For example, many systems use
digitization methods that in effect use interleaving of 2, 4 or more
ADCs in parallel thus achieving high sampling rates and high linearity.
Unfortunately the interleaving itself is a source of errors that limits
the overall dynamic range . GMR's iNLEQ techniques overcome those types
of errors.
The specific ADCs you reference (assuming they are working on their own
and not interleaved with others per the iNLEQ discussion above) will
typically have improvements in dynamic range of about a) 12dB, b) 18dB,
and c) 18 dB, respectively. Please note further that while these ADCs
appear from the outside to be a single component they are, in fact,
internally composed of multiple sampler sub-devices and therefore we use
our iNLEQ interleaving error mitigation techniques as well.
Regarding question 2.
We certainly use our techniques in addition to other forms of error
mitigation. We would need to discuss specifics for me to give you a more
definitive answer about how best to make this work for any specific
system. We typically collaborate with other companies or organizations
to achieve the most cost effective solutions for them.
Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.
Best regards,

X-Band Receiver
The MITEQ X-Band receiver is of a dual
conversion superheterodyne architecture that
translates a 10 GHz signal with a bandwidth
of 1 GHz to an IF center frequency of 70 MHz
and a bandwidth of 20 MHz for stretch processing
of radar returns. The receiver also
includes a wideband IF output at 1 GHz for
use with advanced high speed ADC (analog to
digital converter) processing techniques such
as optical processing, time sequenced ADC
arrays, or time stretched ADC arrays

• CIP is a funded program to study the evolution of advanced missions for AEHF, including
Communications On-The-Move (COTM).
• CIP is an effort of the Air Force Space and Missile Center Advanced Concept Group.
In Nov. 2001, the U.S. Air Force awarded Lockheed Martin Space Systems
and Northrop Grumman Space Technology (Formerly TRW Space & Electronics)
a $2.698 billion contract to begin the System Development and
Demonstration (SDD) phase of the Advanced Extremely High Frequency
(Advanced EHF) Program. The Advanced EHF Program is the next generation
of global, highly secure, survivable communications system for
Warfighters within all services of the Department of Defense.
http://www.lockheedmartin.com/products/AdvancedExtremelyHighFrequencyEHF/index.html The AEHF system’s design provides data and voice networking and
videoconferencing, along with sensor imagery. The capacity is 430
megabits a second per satellite on each of three spacecraft.
Tactical communications are at 8 megabits per second
***********************************************
and strategic communications at 19.2 kilobits per second.
**************************************************
There is an order of magnitude improvement in system capacity over
Milstar, with an increase of five times in data rate, servicing up to
6,000 terminals and 4,000 networks, the colonel assures. Each AEHF
employs more than 50 communications channels via multiple, simultaneous
downlinks.
The system also uses massive numbers of application specific integrated
circuits (ASICs),
**************************************************************************
AEHF allows one phased array antenna to do the job of many reflectors,
greatly improving warfighter communications access, the colonel notes.
One of the new technologies developed for the AEHF payload, the uplink
phased array antenna will receive signals from ground terminals. This
new technology directs agile radio frequency beams electronically
instead of by mechanically moving reflectors, Col. Harding says. “Phased
arrays provide an agile ability to rapidly jump the beam around from
user to user, where traditional gimbals must dedicate the beam to one
user at a time.”

**************************************************************
http://www.afcea.org/signal/articles/templates/SIGNAL_Article_Template.asp?articleid=988&zoneid=4 Operating at 44 gigahertz, the space-based phased array antenna also
uses indium phosphide (InP), an advanced semiconductor material, for
some of the antenna’s more than 10,000 monolithic microwave integrated
circuits.
*******************************************************************************************
InP ensures excellent low noise, or clear signal, performance. With a
more compact phased array, the AEHF system can process greater amounts
of information. In the progression of extremely high frequency (EHF)
satellites, the total Milstar I system throughput moved from 75 kilobits
per second to 100 megabits per second with Milstar II and to 1 gigabit
per second with the AEHF system’s extended data rate capability with
three satellites, Col. Harding states.

An internal technology assessment workshop was held in October, 2003.
The purpose
of this workshop was to assess past technology developments and identify
common
radar components suitable for additional technology investment by InSAR.
This was
accomplished by surveying past technology investments and new candidate
technologies to understand adaptability to InSAR as well as other
planned missions
such as Aquarius, WSOA, Hydros and potentially UAV SAR. Based on the
results of
this workshop, the development of the following radar electronics
prototypes was
initiated to raise the TRL: 1) L-band RF Transceiver; 2) AD-9858
NCO-based Digital
Chirp Generator;
3) Atmel TS8388 Analog-to-Digital Converter and 1:8 Demux;

4) Xilinx
FPGA-based Block Floating Point Quantizer (BFPQ). In addition, the
instrument
architecture has been refined to utilize the new hardware technologies.

Instrument DC power 1800 W peak (during data take) including 30%
contingency
Instrument data rate 130 Mbps average
High-Resolution Mode: The High-Resolution Mode is an 80 MHz mode that
trades
swath coverage for increased resolution (10 m). One of seven beams may
be chosen
in this mode; each with a swath width of ~40 km. Operation in this mode
would be in lieu
of the primary 35 m resolution Stripmap Mode and would be performed
intermittently at
the request of the Science Team when targets of interest requiring
higher resolution are
identified
The current InSAR baseline eight-day sun-synchronous orbit at 760 km
altitude yields a
separation of ~340 km at the equator between adjacent nadir tracks, as
shown in the
following figure. In order to meet the requirement for complete global
access the InSAR
Payload System will be designed such that the accessible area (viewable
swath) is
greater than or equal to 340 km.
