Innovative Balanced Solutions
Since 2007, when Auriga earned its first Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) award, our creative and collaborative engineering team continue to deliver cutting-edge technology.
All solutions are designed for expedited integration into other programs, military branches, and industry applications.
Wide Bandgap Amplifier Linearization
This program will provide the enabling technology for the Next Generation Jammer (NGJ) system. The environment for the NGJ is rigorous, encompassing up to eight simultaneous tones across an instantaneous bandwidth of 500 MHz. Each tone can vary in amplitude and spacing, resulting in extremely high crest factors. Operating an amplifier efficiently over a range of crest factors this high is not possible in the current infrastructure. Maintaining enough linearity to provide effective jamming requires the efficiency to be sacrificed.
Balanced Solution:
Design and deliver a broadband power amplifier that covers 3,4,5:1 bandwidths with an output power of 25-100 W. Reduce all intermodulation distortion levels below -30 dBc without sacrificing the efficiency or linearity of the amplifier.
