Abstract :
The authors discuss requirements for the PAVE PACE integrated radio frequency (IRF) system and present a description of the IRF conceptual architecture, including receive process, transmit process, and integrated maintenance approach. A comparison is made between the PAVE PACE system and a Pave Pillar/JIAWG system (assuming advanced technology insertion), to determine improvements in cost, volume, weight, power, and reliability
