This DARPA grant is for the purpose of advancing innovative research in Microscale Power Conversion (MPC). Specifically, DARPA seeks proposals aiming to create a novel RF transmitter. This transmitter should be realized either as a monolithic integrated circuit or as a system-in-package module. The core of the research involves integrating a monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) power amplifier with a dynamic voltage power supply and its essential controller circuit. The grant explicitly excludes research that merely offers incremental or evolutionary improvements to current technologies, emphasizing a need for revolutionary approaches in power conversion and RF transmission. The goal is to push the boundaries of microscale power solutions for advanced electronic systems.

| Description: | DARPA is soliciting innovative research proposals in Microscale Power Conversion. Proposed research should investigate innovative approaches that will ultimately realize an RF transmitter as either a monolithic integrated circuit or a system-in-package module in which a monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) power amplifier is integrated with a dynamic voltage power supply and its controller circuit. Specifically excluded is research that primarily results in evolutionary improvements to the existing state of practice. See the full DARPA-BAA-11-33 document attached. |
