The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project is to provide a new way for developers of wireless systems to test their prototypes. The estimated market size is $300 M and supports the development of many new sectors, such as next-generation cellular systems, self-driving cars, robotics, augmented/virtual reality, and unmanned aerial vehicles (drones). This project will advance a new technology, affordable and technically advanced software-defined radios (SDRs), for testing. This SBIR Phase II project will advance the translation of SDRs. The millimeter wave (mmWave) frequencies from 30-300 GHz can be used to meet increased demand, but getting systems to work in the real-world in these frequencies remains challenging. This SBIR Phase II effort will advance an SDR to prototype systems across all layers of the protocol stack.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

这个小型企业创新研究（SBIR）第二阶段项目的更广泛的影响/商业潜力是为无线系统开发人员提供一种测试其原型的新方法。 估计市场规模为3亿美元，支持许多新领域的发展，如下一代蜂窝系统，自动驾驶汽车，机器人技术，增强/虚拟现实和无人机（无人机）。该项目将推进一项新技术，即负担得起的、技术先进的软件定义无线电（SDR），以供测试。SBIR第二阶段项目将推进特别提款权的翻译。 30-300 GHz的毫米波（mmWave）频率可用于满足不断增长的需求，但让系统在这些频率下在现实世界中工作仍然具有挑战性。SBIR第二阶段的工作将推动SDR在协议栈的所有层上实现原型系统。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
