Explore the Navy's premier small business virtual technology showcase

The new technology being developed is superconducting digital signal processing (DSP) integrated circuits. HYPRES primarily pursues digital-RF transceiver technology, which has resulted in a field-tested product: Advanced Digital-RF Receiver. Leveraging this success, the company launched and spun-off several independent business pursuits. The target defense application is electronic warfare and others that require directionally controlled reception, initially for surface ships. A key design technique, serial biasing of digital circuit blocks, transcends this specific use and will be indispensable for all future applications of superconductor digital circuitry. New serial biasing circuitry have been designed for the target Government Furnished foundry. We are looking for funded acquisition program office commitment for transitioning ADR, incorporating the DSP, resulting in ruggedization and on-platform testing, and quantitative determination of performance benefits.

HYPRES is enhancing its wideband RF receiver technology by integrating digital signal processing circuitry with analog-to-digital converters. Enhanced superconductor circuit complexity will address electronic warfare and other applications requiring multiple antennas without increasing the receiver’s size, weight and power consumption.
