X-Band to W-Band Doppler Radar Using Reconfigurable RF T/R MMIC Series, Phase I

Status: Completed

Start Date: 2007-01-19

End Date: 2007-07-23

Description: During Phase I, TLC will demonstrate and deliver a remote mixed-mode adjustable X-band to W-band transceiver chip that can perform well as a FMCW, super-heterodyne or pulse radar that meets space qualification specifications. This reconfigurable transceiver will serve as the basis for the precipitation & cloud measurement doppler radar system that will be developed, tested and delivered to NASA in Phase II.
