This National Science Foundation (NSF) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project award to OSO Semiconductor Inc., a minority-owned small business, will develop a new phased array communication technology to achieve lower power consumption, smaller form factors, and more affordable price targets. The $274,992 grant, awarded on December 15, 2023, will fund the development and testing of an ultra-low loss beamforming circuit that can be integrated into a unique low-power phased array architecture. This technology aims to significantly decrease power consumption and reduce the number of semiconductor chipsets required, particularly important for mobile platforms and satellite communication systems. By addressing high cost and power issues with current phased arrays, this project seeks to enable performance improvements or cost reductions for critical industries such as satellite communications, 5G, and automotive radar. No subawards are planned for this award, which is funded through the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program (CFDA 47.084).
