PolyPhase Microwave Funding
Polyphase Microwave received a new order from NSWC Crane for six Dual Channel Downconverters (DCD) totaling $147,360. The DCDs are used in microwave tube (MWT) test sets at the Crane Radar Division laboratory and in MWT vendors production lines. The DCD is uniquely designed to facilitate the complex response measurements of pulsed two-port RF devices. Its compact and economical design includes a two-channel heterodyne receiver architecture that downconverts two frequency-agile, pulsed RF signals to identical fixed intermediate frequency (IF) signals without the use of a tunable oscillator. These fixed IF outputs contain amplitude and relative phase information for the signal incident upon and transmitted through the pulsed two-port device.

DARPA Phase 2 STTR on Holographic Radar Signal Processing
Connecticut Operations won a Phase 2 STTR from DARPA worth $500K to investigate holographic processing of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data collected using circular, helical, and spiral flight paths. This STTR topic was originally sponsored by AFRL but was adopted by DARPA for Phase 2. TSC is teamed with the Space Dynamics Laboratory at the Utah State University, who will collect SAR data using their recently upgraded dual-band RASAR system. TSC will investigate non-coherent and coherent processing techniques and evaluate 3-D image products using metrics defined in Phase 1.
