Summary on Grant Application Form
BAe Systems, Sensor Systems Division at Stanmore have a specific application for small compact wide bandwidth delay lines. Work is currently underway on the development of such delay lines in collaboration with BAe Systems Advanced Technology Center, Great Baddow and DERA Malvern. This proposal is intended to allow Birmingham University to support this consortium with backing from the joint grant scheme, being half funded by the MOD. The University's role in this partnership will be to investigate new, novel high performance structures for delay lines; whilst the other partners will design and construct a more conventional superconducting delay line. This type of approach allows a conventional delay line to be constructed for the system, but leaves open the option for inclusion of the University identified for investigation. These include slow wave structures and cell based transmission lines. Within both these general headings detailed investigations will be made. In addition work on the packing of wide band superconducting components will be made. Advanced channeliser or filter bank structures will also be investigated.
