[Legacy Report] RF2D Technologies forWideband Military Electronic Systems

---

The need for improved spectral coverage in the operational theatre is driving the requirement for wider bandwidth solutions. Additionally, to improve platform performance and mission capabilities there is an increasing focus on cost and reductions in the size, weight and power of the system.
This session will discuss technologies for acquiring and generating wide bandwidth (>1 GHz) RF spectra by replacing narrow-band multi-stage mixing technologies with direct down/up-conversion blocks, high-speed, low-latency data converters and FPGA-based digital processing..
