MaXentric proposes the GAU2x2 wideband power amplifier system. The design combines MaXentric’s wideband RF PA technology with advanced digital signal processing in a single small footprint package. This tight integration is made possible through the extremely high efficiency and low power dissipation. Since very little power is dissipated as heat, the package and heat sink size can be minimized. ...

In Phase II, we propose to develop high saturation current photodiodes that will meet the following design criteria: (a) Responsivity > 0.65 A/W, (b) 1 dB compression current > 100 mA, (c) Bandwidth DC to 18 GHz,(d) Wavelength response of 1300 to 1550 nm, and (e) OIP3 of +50 dBm. Three different photodiode designs will be tested for maximum saturation current: Partially Depleted Absorber (PDA), D ...

Scientists have made a lot of efforts to achieve subwavelength imaging or super-resolution imaging with a slab of metal film or layered materials. Generally it is hard to obtain images with resolution finer than the wavelength of light. Layered materials recently were proposed to realize the super-resolution imaging in the near field. In this SBIR program, we will carry out theoretical and experim ...

The technical problem: In the event of a terrorist attack with a “dirty bomb”, there would be an urgent need to distinguish between those who have and have not been exposed to radiation, in order to perform rapid triage. First responders and emergency health workers would require a biological dosimetric test for radiation exposure that is rapid, accurate, and non-invasive. The opportunity: a m ...

This SBIR Phase II proposal to DOD SOCOM requests $749,985.49 of support for Policell Technologies, Inc. to design and develop a safe rechargeable battery replacement for the Lithium BA-5590 battery to eliminate hazards resulting from water exposure under SOCOM specific missions. This proposal responds to SBIR Topic Number 03-013“Battery Modulation for Communication Equipment”. In addition, a ...

This Phase 2 SBIR will develop two core technologies, small DC powered compressors and an oxygen (O2) concentrating systems to produce a Portable Oxygen Generating System (POGS). A technology review and preliminary testing indicate that development of asystem to produce a flow rate of 10-15 liters/minute (LPM) of 60% O2 is achievable. This compact system will provide O2 at this flow rate for up to ...

Nanonex is successfully finishing the SBIR Phase I project and has developed a unique nanoimprint tool, Voyager-I that offers unprecedented fast operation and excellent nanostructure uniformity over a large area. In Phase II, Nanonex will focus on furtherimprovements, production, and commercialization of the Voyager tool.

COMPACT SOFTWARE PROPOSES TO DEVELOP PHYSICS-BASED MESFET, HEMT AND HBT MODELS AND THEN INTEGRATE THEM INTO OUR COMMERCIAL MICROWAVE NONLINEAR CIRCUIT SIMULATOR, "MICROWAVE HARMONICA." EXISTING EXTRACTION BASED MODELS SUCH AS THE MODIFIED MATERKA AND CURTICE MODELS ARE BASED ON MICROWAVE MEASUREMENT INFORMATION. THE USE OF PHYSICS OR PROCESS-BASED MODELS COMPLETES THE ANALYSIS CHAIN BY LINKINGPROC ...

THE COST OF PLATINUM AND RHODIUM IN THE THREE-WAY CATALYST ACCOUNTS FOR A MAJOR FRACTION OF THE COST ASSOCIATED WITH TREATMENT OF AUTOMOTIVE EXHAUST. THEREFORE, STRIVING TO ACHIEVE A HIGHER LEVEL OF POLLUTANT REMOVAL BY INCREASING THE PLATINUM AND RHODIUM CONTENTS IN THE THREE-WAY CATALYST IS NOT ECONOMICALLY ATTRACTIVE. IN THIS RESEARCH, AN ALTER-NATIVE METHOD FOR ACHIEVING A HIGHER LEVEL OF POLL ...
