... Background: The electromagnetic sensing systems for N-ROSS and remote sensing satellites launched by other agencies represent modest technological advances over SEASAT systems. However, the Navy's ability to remotely sense the ocean environment should be greatly enhanced by recent and future technological advances in devices, signal processing, and algorithm development.

... o Novel millimeter wave sensors to measure atmospheric water vapor. ELECTROMAGNETIC ANALYSIS AND MODELING INTEGRATED CIRCUITS As radar, communication, and computing systems process data at higher speeds and operate at higher frequencies and wider bandwidths, the Navy must be concerned with the performance limits placed on integrated circuits by electromagnetic propagation, scattering, and radiation.

... For this approach to succeed, a number of important technical issues must be resolved. For example, viable device models must be created owing to the increased role that CAD software will play in the design and fabrication process; new and innovative architectures are needed to efficiently utilize the chip real estate; new electronic components such as phase shifters must be created; and the propagation, coupling, and radiative properties of millimeter waves must be understood for the monolithic circuit.

... Superconducting Antennas and Integrated Circuits: The recent discovery of high-temperature superconducting materials has revived interest in the research on microwave integrated circuits and antennas using superconducting materials, which was under intensive investigation in the late 1960s. The major reason is that superconductors will reduce the conducting loss significantly in the propagation structures such as transmission lines and antennas, thus enhancing the responsivity or the signal-to-noise ratio.
