- Description
- LAWRENCE LIVERMORE NATIONAL LABORATORY SEEKING LICENSEE(S) TO COMMERCIALIZE OR COLLABORATIVE R&D PARTNER(S)S TO FURTHER DEVELOP DIGITAL INTERMEDIATE FREQUENCY (IF) MODULATOR USING PARALLEL PROCESSING Announcement: Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), operated by the University of California under contract with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), seeks to license this technology to industry. Commercially available digital IF QAM modulators use sine/cosine ROMs or CORDIC (Coordinate Rotation Digital Computer) and/or a number of multipliers to generate the IF modulated waveforms. LLNL researchers have developed a digital intermediate frequency (IF) modulator that applies to various modulation types, and offers a simple and low cost method to implement high speed digital IF modulator. The architecture eliminates multipliers and sequential processing. The digital parallel processing allows the low speed FPGA to be used to generate a high carrier frequency output. Another aspect of the invention is the programmability of the digital IF modulator?s carrier frequency and modulation types. LLNL?s invention can be easily used to realize any digital IF modulator with FPGA device. This technique can be applied to direct digital synthesis. Existing commercial wireless or wire systems such as GSM, CDMA, and XDSL that use digital IF modulation of any types can benefit from this technology. Note: THIS IS NOT A PROCUREMENT. Companies interested in commercializing LLNL's subject technology described herein should provide a written statement of interest, which includes the following: 1. Company Name and address. 2. The name, address, and telephone number of a point of contact. 3. A description of corporate expertise and facilities relevant to commercializing this technology. Written responses should be directed to: Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Industrial Partnerships and Commercialization P.O. Box 808, L-795 Livermore, CA 94551-0808 Attention: FBO000053-03 Please provide your written statement within thirty (30) days from the date this announcement is published to ensure consideration of your interest.
