Avtec Systems, Inc. proposes creating a High Fidelity RF Parameter Generator built on the foundation of our Wideband Analog Signal Processing (WASP) Board. In order to provide the waveform reconstruction capabilities desired by the Air Force for future laboratory synthetic battlespace simulation we will need to dramatically improve the WASP's arbitrary waveform signal generation by designing the WASP-AWG with a dual Digital to Analog Converter signal chain allowing the creation of Inphase and Quadrature outputs. Additionally a flexible Single Sideband Up-converter architecture will be designed to translate the generated waveforms to the frequency band of interest. Multi-signal generation capability will be supported to allow cost effective signal recreation covering a 1 GHz bandwidth. For Phase I, Avtec will evaluate the proposed architecture's ability to implement the advanced signal generation architecture. Knowledge gained from this task will be used to validate the architecture's ability to meet the performance requirements of the High Fidelity RF Parameter Generator and to determine the hardware and firmware requirements for the Phase II prototype. Upgrades to Avtec's WASP board, FPGA firmware, and the driver and API software will be defined to ensure that all generator requirements are met
