About this award

This is a $749,610 firm-fixed price contract awarded by NASA to Micro Harmonics Corporation, a small business, for the development of a line of cryogenic isolators operating across multiple waveguide bands. The primary objective is to extend Micro Harmonics' room temperature millimeter-wave isolator technology to work at cryogenic temperatures for use in NASA's cryogenic systems. This Phase II Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract will deliver prototype cryogenic isolators in WR-15 through WR-5.1 waveguide bands, as well as design work for WR-4.3 and WR-3.4 bands. These specialized millimeter-wave components will fill an unmet need for NASA's cryogenic systems supporting satellite communications and other missions. The contract has a total small business set-aside designation.

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.
