RF products proposes to investigate the design of a frequency hopping multicoupler. Using an in-house-developed high-power frequency-hopping prototype filter, we will consider two approaches to defining the filter/combining network interface, select the more advantageous, create a four-filter brassboard combined with two operating channels and two channels connected to unused-port terminators, and demonstrate high-power capability to probe the feasibility of the multicoupler concept. This will position RF products for phase ii and subsequent efforts that will result in the design and production of a 225-400 MHz frequency-hopping multicoupler that will eliminate the radio jamming problems associated with frequency management and antenna proliferation in the have quick anti-jamming communications systems.
