Public award description
THE PRIMARY OBJECTIVE OF THE PROPOSED SBIR PHASE II RESEARCH IS TO EXTEND THE ROOM TEMPERATURE MILLIMETER-WAVE (MMW) TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPED BY MICRO HARMONICS TO ISOLATORS OPERATING AT CRYOGENIC TEMPERATURES. TWO VERY SUCCESSFUL CRYOGENIC PROTOTYPE DEVICES AT WR-10 (75-110 GHZ) WERE DESIGNED IN THE PHASE I EFFORT. THE MEASURED INSERTION LOSS AT 77 K IS 0.3 DB AND THE ISOLATION IS GREATER THAN 25 DB ACROSS THE BAND. IN THE PHASE II PROGRAM WE PROPOSE TO DEVELOP A LINE OF CRYOGENIC ISOLATORS OPTIMIZED FOR CRYOGENIC TEMPERATURES OPERATING IN EVERY WAVEGUIDE BAND FROM WR-15 THROUGH WR-5.1 AND TO DELIVER PROTOTYPE DEVICES AT EACH BAND TO NASA. WE WILL ALSO DESIGN CRYOGENIC ISOLATORS FOR THE WR-4.3 AND WR-3.4 BANDS. THESE COMPONENTS WILL FILL AN UNMET NEED AND FIND IMMEDIATE APPLICATION IN MANY CRYOGENIC SYSTEMS NOW BEING DEVELOPED FOR NASA MISSIONS.
