This is a $124,779 firm-fixed-price SBIR Phase I research contract awarded to Toyon Research Corporation, a small business manufacturer located in Goleta, California. The contract was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to develop novel gallium nitride (GaN) multiplier technology capable of handling over 1 watt of input power and achieving over 30% efficiency in the 200-400 GHz frequency range. This high-power millimeter-wave multiplier technology will enable significant advances in terahertz local oscillator sources for a variety of NASA and other government applications, including radio astronomy, spectroscopy, imaging, and communications systems.
