Time Domain Announces NASA STTR Contract Award
Summary
We appreciate that NASA recognizes UWB technology as vital to its success.” Time Domain’s academic partner for this STTR is the University of Alabama in Huntsville, led by Dr. Laurie Joiner of the school’s Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering.Time Domain’s production of coherent pulsed-RF UWB modules (PulsON® 400) has confirmed that further miniaturization and specific developmental improvements are achievable in simultaneous mobile ad hoc networking, distributed navigation/localization, and cooperative radar imaging.Investigation of the novel capability to fuse these critical functions and improve performance, while minimizing overall power consumption and weight, should revolutionize collaboration among interdependent teams of robotic platforms and increase their capacity for exploration.Time Domain’s production of coherent pulsed-RF UWB modules (PulsON® 400) has confirmed that further miniaturization and specific developmental improvements are achievable in simultaneous mobile ad hoc networking, distributed navigation/localization, and cooperative radar imaging.Investigation of the novel capability to fuse these critical functions and improve performance, while minimizing overall power consumption and weight, should revolutionize collaboration among interdependent teams of robotic platforms and increase their capacity for exploration.Time Domain’s PulsON 400 module represents the culmination of over a decade of UWB research and product development, including five generations of custom silicon.
