- 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: Microwave remote sensing of Earth science parameters (such as soil moisture, ice thickness, ocean wind speed etc.) is currently performed using active microwave radars or passive microwave radiometers. For true global measurement, these radar and radiometers needs to be deployed in low earth orbit (LEO) or geostationary orbit (GEO). However, for achieving reasonable spatial resolution and temporal resolution, these remote sensing instruments become complex and expensive to deploy in LEO/GEO. In order to reduce mission cost and deployment time, there is a need for alternative techniques which are based on using already existing EM signals transmitted by communication transmitters. Currently, the transceiver used for small satellite applications use antennas that are omnidirectional. These receivers will indiscriminately receive signals incident from all directions and will not have capability to suppress RF signals incident from unwanted directions. The Direction of Arrival Estimation Signal of Opportunity Receiver maximizes antenna gain in a desired direction to maximize desired signal and suppress unwanted signals. 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/GSC-TOPS-248 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 beta.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.
