Coupled Resonator Power Combiner (COREPOWER)
Completed
TRL 3 (started at 1, targeting 3)
Description
NuWaves' proposed COupled REsonator POWer combinER (COREPOWER) is an innovative approach to significantly reducing the size of high-power solid state amplifiers. The COREPOWER RF splitter/combiner allows for the matching network, harmonic filter, and power combiner to exist in a single small footprint package.
Benefits
Synthetic Aperture Radar Satellites, Deep space communications
Electronic Warfare, Tactical Training, Base stations, Commercial Synthetic Aperture Radar Satellites

How to get involved
This is early/mid-stage (TRL 3) — 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.
