STTR Phase I: Enabling Interference Management in Communication Networks Using True Time-Delay Systems

该项目的更广泛的影响/商业潜力是使用真正的全双工技术极大地改善全国各地家庭的宽带接入。通过将全双工通信引入有线和无线系统，这项提议的努力旨在改善连通性，增强覆盖范围，并为密集的城市和稀疏的农村社区提供新的应用。这项工作通过提供更可靠、更高带宽的接入，使急救人员、执法部门和其他基本服务受益。这项小型企业技术转让（STTR）第一阶段项目将进一步开发全双工通信的现有框架，将其从早期原型阶段发展到更成熟的概念验证，同时使公司能够了解该技术对多个通信行业领域的商业影响。这个第一阶段的项目将从可调谐滤波器的设备制造开始，然后进一步证明其在有线和无线通信链路上的技术适用性。主要里程碑包括：器件特性、集成、测试和良率分析。这个过程将验证技术和商业前沿的假设，使颠覆性材料和制造工艺从学术环境进入商业世界。

The broader impact/commercial potential of this project is to vastly improve broadband access to the home across The Nation using true full duplex technology. By bringing full duplex communications to wireline and wireless systems, this proposed effort aims to improve connectivity, enhance coverage and enable new applications for both dense urban and sparse rural communities. This effort benefits first responders, law enforcement and other essential services by providing more reliable, higher bandwidth access to them.This Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project will further develop an existing framework for full duplex communications, taking it from early stage prototype to a more mature proof of concept, while simultaneously enabling the company to understand the commercial impact of this technology on multiple communication industry segments. This Phase 1 project will begin by device fabrication for tunable filters, then progress to proving its technical applicability for wireline and wireless communication links. The primary milestones include: device characterization, integration, testing and yield analysis. This process will validate assumptions on both the technical and business fronts, enabling disruptive materials and fabrication processes to emerge from an academic environment into the commercial world.
