- Description
- NASA�s Technology Transfer Program solicits inquiries from companies interested in obtaining license rights to commercialize, manufacture and market the following technology. License rights may be issued on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis and may include specific fields of use. NASA provides no funding in conjunction with these potential licenses. THE TECHNOLOGY: To achieve power levels necessary for communications in space, several monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) amplifiers must be combined. One problem with this process is that conventional power combiners require MMICs with identical amplitude and phase characteristics, but even minor variations in manufacture cause MMIC power outputs to be unequal. To solve this problem, scientists at NASA's Glenn Research Center have developed a novel waveguide hybrid power combiner for solid-state power amplifiers based on MMICs. Glenn initially demonstrated the proof-of-concept at Ka-band frequencies, from 31.8 to 32.3 GHz, which is NASA's deep-space frequency band. However, the design can be scaled to other frequencies of interest. To express interest in this opportunity, please submit a license application through NASA�s Automated Technology Licensing Application System (ATLAS) by visiting https://technology.nasa.gov/patent/LEW-TOPS-72 If you have any questions, please e-mail NASA�s Technology Transfer Program at Agency-Patent-Licensing@mail.nasa.gov with the title of this Technology Transfer Opportunity as listed in this SAM.gov notice and your preferred contact information. For more information about licensing other NASA-developed technologies, please visit the NASA Technology Transfer Portal at https://technology.nasa.gov/ These responses are provided to members of NASA�s Technology Transfer Program for the purpose of promoting public awareness of NASA-developed technology products, and conducting preliminary market research to determine public interest in and potential for future licensing opportunities. No follow-on procurement is expected to result from responses to this Notice.
