Design of photonic crystals front-end (Photonic crystals: Material selection and<br />

Title:<br />

fabrication)<br />

Photonic Band Gap technology is a breakthrough, mainly <strong>du</strong>e to their ability to guide and control efficiently electromagnetic<br />

waves. As most fundamental components shall be soon available in PBG technology, a fully integrated receiver incorporating<br />

antenna, mixer, waveguides, LO injection and filtering in one unit could be developed in order to take full advantage of this<br />

technology. True integration of passive and active components can now begin to materialize using PBG technology leading<br />

towards the development of a complete system.<br />

In parallel, a PBG component in an ideal concept would be fully dynamic, reconfigurable and multifunctional and the<br />

association of PBG with other enabling technologies such as MST (Micro-Systems Technologies) and more specifically RF<br />

MEMS may allow completely novel EBG concepts and designs. Such a concept is clearly visionary, but the combination of RF<br />

MEMS with novel periodic structures such as PBG my allow prototyping (and probably patenting) innovative functional<br />

concepts to demonstrate adjustability of electromagnetic crystals. This would represent a fundamental change in the way<br />

systems are being designed today.<br />

Title:<br />

Secured link for TT&C antennas design phase<br />

This activity deals with the design of antennas for secure TT&C links using adaptive (including switching) antenna techniques.<br />

The activity shall consider identification of likely threat scenarios, trade-offs of adaptive antenna concepts, architectures and<br />

design, ground segment and other infrastructure impacts/requirements, interferer location techniques and adaptive antenna<br />

control including software and hardware requirements. The output of this activity shall be the design of the adaptive antenna<br />

system(s) together with analyses to investigate the antenna expected performance. Development plan for future hardware<br />

development.<br />

Deliverables:<br />

Adaptive antenna system(s) design and performances analysis. Future HW development plan.<br />
