Abstract
Funded under DARPA's Arrays on Commercial Timescales (ACT) program, Raytheon and Cornell have developed an RF Sampler technology that integrates highly-linear frequency conversion and filtering into a compact chipset, making it possible to fully leverage commercially-available digital components. With high performance spanning several octaves of bandwidth, the RF Sampler enables diverse yet affordable classes of multifunction digital beamforming systems.
