About this award
This is a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Quest Integrated, LLC, a small disadvantaged business located in Kent, Washington. The contract, valued at $124,978.00, is for the development of an active and tunable metamaterial phased array transducer system to enable guided wave mode selection with high intensity per driving channel and lower modal noise compared to the state-of-the-art. The innovation exploits aspects of phased array-based guided wave mode selection theory, including low modal noise with small inter-element distance and a large number of elements, as well as the use of switching matrices to reduce the number of driving channels required. The primary features are improved fidelity of inspection and cost-effectiveness.
Description
An active and tunable metamaterial phased array transducer for guided wave mode selection with high intensity per driving channel and with dramatically lower modal noise when compared to the state of the art. The innovation exploits aspect of phased array based guided wave mode selection theory, whose practical significance seems to be ignored in the state of the art. These aspects include a) low modal noise when the phased array has small inter-element distance and a large number of elements and; B) phased delays necessary for driving the phased array elements have an apparent periodicity and anti-symmetry. As a consequence of exploiting the first factors the proposed phased array transducer can be classified as an active tuneable metamaterial. The second factor is mentioned above is exploited to reduce the number of driving channels by using switching matrices to interface between the driving channels and the metamaterial transducer. Fidelity of inspection and cost-effectiveness are the primary features of the innovation.
