Description

DARPA is soliciting proposals for the design and demonstration of innovative high dynamic range, broadband digital receiver systems based on Analog-to-Information Converter (AIC) technology. AIC-based receivers offer the potential for high dynamic range digitization and broad unambiguous frequency coverage using encoded sampling at sub-Nyquist effective sampling rate. With suitably implemented decoding, AICs allow accurate reconstruction of signals of interest, enabling novel digital receivers that provide dramatically increased performance over traditional approaches at a given level of mixed-signal technology.

DARPA Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) No. 08-03, entitled "Analog-to-Information Receiver Development Program (A-to-I)," is provided as an attachment to this solicitation notice and includes information on the specific areas of interest; the submission process; proposal format; evaluation and selection/funding processes; as well as all other pertinent administrative and contractual information. The BAA may be obtained from the FedBizOpps website: http://www.fedbizopps.gov/, Grants.gov website: http://www.grants.gov/, World Wide Web (WWW) at URL http://www.darpa.mil/mto (go to "solicitation" area) or by fax, electronic mail, or mail request to the administrative contact address given below.
