Amendment 03: The purpose of this amendment is to make changes in response to the FAQ. All changes are highlighted in yellow in the attached revised DARPA-BAA-11-12. Amendment 02: The purpose of this amendment is to revise the full proposal due date. Changes are highlighted in yellow in the attached revised DARPA-BAA-11-12 document. Amendment 01: The purpose of this amendment is to incorporate administrative changes and teaming information, as highlighted in yellow in the attached revised DARPA-BAA-11-12.Original synopsis below.DARPA is soliciting innovative research proposals in the area of Direct Digital to High Power Analog Conversion (PowerDAC) Technology. This will enable the combining of digital to analog conversion and high power amplification into a single component technology realizing revolutionary advantages. These advantages include dramatically advancing the state of art in the ability to simultaneously achieve high power, large bandwidth, high efficiency and high linearity at RF and microwave frequencies. Specifically excluded are research approaches that primarily result in evolutionary improvements. See full DARPA-BAA-11-12 attached.
