Award Data

The solicitation seeks to develop and demonstrate a covert solution for high bandwidth link capacity for agile, airborne platforms through dynamic beam adjustment, and frequency mobility along the 60GHz oxygen absorption line. MaXentric has teamed up with FIU to develop an innovative, efficient, and scalable architecture, which combines a novel wideband phased array antenna design, with an efficie ...

To meet the demands of the A18-061 SBIR solicitation (“Medical Sensors Powered by Human Generated Energy”), MaXentric proposes an energy harvesting system that generates power directly from the user’s body. This harvesting system, when integrated with a sensor patch, results in a system with greatly extended continuous use time allowing for application in “prolonged field care” scenarios ...

To meet the demands of the A17-017 SBIR solicitation (“Same Frequency Simultaneous Transmit and Receive Radio for Military and Commercial Applications”), the MaXentric / FIU team proposes the STaRwAARS (Simultaneous Transmit and Receive with Agile Adjustable Response System), which realize >70 dB transmitter-to-receiver isolation cleverly combining dual-polarization antenna and a custom IC wit ...

Prototypes of ultra-flexible, high efficiency photovoltaic power generation units will be fabricated and tested in two campaigns. Initial batch of 15 units will provide the processing, fabrication and characterization data necessary to evaluate the initial designs. Based on the results of the first batch, a second batch of 20 units will be fabricated and tested. Detailed process, tool and manufact ...

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. ...

The government/DoD have a strong need for analysis of environmental pollutants directly in field soil/water, including metal ions, munitions residues, hydrocarbons, PCBs/PFOSs/PFOAs. Current methods, e.g. transport of samples to labs/trailers, or expensive ($7K-$35K), bulky (5kg-20kg) “portable” field instruments, are inadequate. In recent work, this firm has developed unique, field-portable, ...

Verus Research is pleased to respond to the A16-123 Army Phase-II SBIR solicitation. To meet the Army’s Phase-II requirements in a risk-mitigated fashion, Verus Research will leverage its innovative “Ferengi” family-of-antennas technology which was conceived, designed, and experimentally demonstrated by Verus Research under the previous Army-funded Phase-I Base A16-123 SBIR effort. For the p ...

The US Army is seeking a high-resolution, rail-based synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging system capable of operating within the 100 – 300GHz frequency range. Wide bandwidth SAR technologies at this frequency range provide the potential for supporting applications that require high-resolution, non-destructive imaging. In response to this opportunity, MaXentric is proposing a rail-based SAR sys ...

During the Phase I program, Utility Development Corporation successfully proved the feasibility of using a syntactic foam based material for the production of an ultra-wideband, ultra-low loss radome for an antennae application. UDC developed and tested formulations that will pass the X-Ku band frequency and withstand 10TW peak power, and a pulse length and frequency of 30ns and 500Hz. In the Phas ...

During the Phase I effort, Semandex Networks and its team developed a prototype capability to detect trends in research publications by automatically identifying emerging concepts within the data. The implemented capability provides insights into past and
