Available Technologies by Category
Antenna-Less RFID Tag	Cheaper – minimized transmission components significantly reduces manufacturing costs Flexible – tags can be reprogrammed to perform different functions Smaller - reduced number of components allows for smaller chips	7744
Embedded Wireless Temperature Sensor for Orthopedic Implants	Utilizes temperature as indication of deep tissue infection Deep tissue measurement vs. only reaching skin surface Non-invasive monitoring	7682
Mixed-Signal Doherty Power Amplifier	Achieves high peak efficiency, back-off efficiency, and linearity Supports complex modulations with large bandwidths (> GHz) Compatible with many process technologies, including CMOS, SiGe, GaAs, and GaN	7496
Reconfigurable Antenna Array with Multi-Feed Antenna Pixels	Enables direct and intuitive programming of RF current distribution, simplifying the setting and prediction of the resulting antenna array pattern Allows broad bandwidth operation, i.e. S-band to X-band operation (2-12 GHz) Easy deployment is made possible by not mandating computationally intensive optimization	6433
Reconfigurable Antennas for Radar Applications	Innovative — Origami-based accordion structure enables variable physical deployment of antenna Reconfigurable — Varying extent of physical deployment reconfigures antenna frequency band, radiation pattern, and gain Cost-reductive — Configurability allows for changing complexity of antenna packages	6357
Self-Steering Transceiver with Autonomous Beam-Forming	Simple operation – operates on phased-array and MIMO systems with zero power consumption Autonomous operation – achieves autonomous beam-forming and beam-alignment towards desired signal High sensitivity – performs automatic dynamic tracking and rejection of unknown interference signals	7360
A Broadband Mm-Wave for Multi-Band Applications	Higher efficiency in the power back-off Higher linearity in the power back-off Higher modulation speed up-to Giga-symbols	7352
Wireless Power Transfer System	Small in size - Resonators are compact geometric shapes, aiding in volume or weight limited applications Resistant to misalignment - Retains comparable efficiency levels regardless of relative angles of transmitter and receiver Versatile – Both data and power can be simultaneously transmitted	6080, 6081, 6106
Pulse Shaping for Radio Frequency Identification Tags	Enables the same form of low-power communication mechanism via reflection instead of radiation Smaller bandwidth occupancy, thus increasing number of devices being able to communicate in a portion of the spectrum. Denser tag/node/sensor/transponder deployments while still adhering to FCC regulations can be achieved	7246
Using Hardware "Fingerprints" to Enhance Network Security	Long-Term Solution: Because no software client is required, this technique can be used to identify both current and future unmanageable devices. Failsafe: Because it relies on inherently unique signatures tied to hardware’s diverse compositions, component manufacturers, and physical differences, the system is difficult to defeat by unauthorized—or even authorized—users. Reduced Vulnerability: As a network-based solution, this method eliminates the security vulnerabilities associated with software additions at each node.	5818
RF-Carrier Embedded Optical Radio-Signal	Preserves the phase-lock loop and local oscillator (LO). The pure RF carrier is a frequency source to down-convert the incoming signals at the intermediate frequency (IF), where it can be easily modulated by a low-frequency optical modulator. Frequency, phase and amplitude of the incoming signals are preserved at the IF band, since the RF carrier is spontaneously synchronized with the original source. The detector linearity is improved since the two pure optical carriers have more power compare to the optical data band.	5800
Liquid Core Patch Antenna with Broadband Frequency Agility	Broadband frequency agility that stretches from mid-LF to mid-EHF Adaptable design to products that need significant frequency agility Ability to provide fractional tunable capability of 8.5:1 surpasses the 1.67:1 capability for current reactively tuned patch antennas	5664
DejaVu: Automated Suggestions for Email Responses on Mobile Devices	Potential to decrease time spent replying to emails Reply suggestions are relevant due to robust information curator and database in the system architecture	7245
Cross-Coupled VCO With Phase Noise Performance	Inherently separate device source nodes for the cross-coupled devices with no compromise on the VCO startup condition. The new topology ensures both low phase noise and low DC power. Superior close-in 1/f3 phase noise.	7176
Inkjet Printed Reflect Array with Van-Atta Operation	Low cost Fully inkjet-printed Flexible	7140
Non-contact vital sign detection	Automatically adjusts the feedback signals to suppress the noise when the measurement environment changes Improves SNR by 50% at 50 cm when compared to an unlocked system Detects heartbeat at 250 cm, more than twice the distance of the unlocked system	7064
Ultra-Compact, Low-Power THz Radio	A THz fully integrated super-harmonic (2nd harmonic) regenerative receiver architecture, which detects the incoming THz signals and injection-locks to a regenerative receiver operating at a lower frequency Reduces power consumption and improves the efficiency for THz signal generations Employs a bidirectional and circuit-sharing architecture, so the THz receiver and the THz transmitter share the same oscillator operating at half the frequency	7053
