Completed TRL 5 (started at 3, targeting 5)
Doppler velocity measurement has been challenging for radars onboard fast moving platforms (such as spacecrafts) or radars with rapid scanning antennas due to the spacecraft ground speed or antenna motion. This proposed effort will focus on the development of a unique frequency diversity technique for extending the Doppler Nyquist range of remote sensing radars. Technology advance from this task has the potential to enable new science capability of Doppler radars.
Doppler measurements from a rapid moving platform, such as spacecraft, or radars using fast scanning antennas have been especially challenging due to spectrum broadening and rapid decorrelation between successive pulses.
N/A
Listed on TechPort itself — the most direct way to ask about this specific project.
This is early/mid-stage (TRL 5) — the most realistic path in is NASA SBIR/STTR, which funds small businesses and research institutions to develop technology aligned with NASA's needs (equity-free, phased funding). Check whether a current SBIR/STTR solicitation topic overlaps with this project's technology area, or contact the project directly (above) to ask.
None of these are guaranteed paths for this specific project — TechPort itself doesn't have an "apply" button. Reaching out to the contact(s) above with a specific question is usually the fastest way to find out what's actually open.
