Reconfigurable beam reflectarray antenna for frequencies in the range of terahertz and millimeter waveThe reflectarray antenna consists of a flat array of phase-shifter cells (reflectarray) illuminated by a feeder, which produces an electronically reconfigurable collimated or shaped beam, where the cells (3b) consist of several stacked layers of conductive elements (4c, 4e, 4d, 4f) on a dielectric substrate (7c, 7d) alternated with layers of liquid crystal (5c, 5d) and a conductive plane (9). Applying bias voltages in the conducting elements, the dielectric constant of the liquid crystal varies producing a phase shift of the reflected field in each cell, allowing for a electronic beam scanning or reconfiguration. Including multiple layers of conductive elements and liquid crystal, improves the bandwidth and the performance of the beam scanning or reconfiguration. The antenna can be applied to observation satellites, communications and security systems.

Novel acoustic wave device and filter for its use in high frequency applicationsAn acoustic wave device with one or more dielectric compensating layers that compensates the spurious signals by substantially temperature-independent nonlinearities occurring within the device has been developed. A direct application of this device has been the development of a novel acoustic filter. Partners to further develop the system and/or to establish commercial agreements with technical cooperation are sought.

Procedure and system for the passive location of wireless nodesA procedure for positioning wireless nodes under a passive approach, i.e., just listening to the radio medium has been developed. Thus, each regular location process run to locate a specific wireless node in the network yields to several nodes knowing their own position. Partners to further develop the system and/ or to establish commercial agreements with technical cooperation are sought.

Process and system for calculating distances between wireless nodesA novel procedure to calculate distances between wireless nodes that do not require hardware customization has been developed. This procedure and the system associated with it allow location systems to be easily developed using almost any technology (e.g. IEEE 802.11). Partners to further develop the system and/or to establish commercial agreements with technical cooperation are sought.

New FFTH-PON Network for extended numbers of usersA new Passive-Optical-Network (PON) for Fiber-To-The-Home (FTTH) services has been developed in the frame of the National Research Project TEYDE. While current FTTH networks as GPON and EPON can reach a maximum of 32-64 users, the proposed PON can serve more than 4000 users, thanks to a new device for distributing the signal among the users that intelligently recycles the noise generated by other elements of the network. Partners to further develop the device and/or to establish license agreements with technical cooperation are sought.

Novel sensor for in vivo nano-mechanical characterizationA nanoforce sensor has been designed to be able to work in aqueous environments. The system is based on a motion amplifier mechanism that allows to amplify extremely small displacements (nanometers) up to 200 times, providing the possibility to characterize the mechano-transduction mechanisms either of a single cell or a tissue in a 3D gel scaffold. Partners to further develop the system applying to specific assays and/or to establish commercial agreements along with technical cooperation are sought.

A wireless Augmentative and Alternative Communication SystemThis new system is an Augmentative and Alternative Communication system (AAC) that allows people with language disabilities to communicate through icons without the intervention of external support. The design is formed by two low-cost separated blocks (selection of the symbols and voice reproduction) with a wireless communication, so it facilitates its scalability, to adapt it to user's vocabulary, and mechanical and intellectual skills. Partners to further develop the system and/or to establish commercial agreements along with technical cooperation are sought.

Efficient BIST architecture to detect defects in TSVsA new BIST (Built-in Self-Test) architecture has been developed to detect defects in TSVs (Through Silicon Vias) during the pre-bond phase. A simple circuit is included to detect defective TSVs affected by hard and/or weak defects, adding low area overhead and applying a simple and fast test methodology. The same circuit can be subsequently re-used for reconfiguration if a defective TSV has been detected. Partners to further develop the technology and/or to establish commercial agreements along with technical cooperation are sought.

Low frequency Non-Intrusive built-in strategy to test and characterize RF and mmW integrated analogue circuitsSet of procedures and circuit sensors to embed within high frequency analogue circuits (e.g.: RF, mmW), whose goal is to enhance either test production or self healing strategies to reduce performance spreading and to enhance yield. The technique is based on measuring the temperature at selected locations of the circuit under test with the goal of extracting information about the performances of the individual blocks that constitute a complete system (e.g. low noise amplifier, power amplifier, etc). Partners to further develop the system and/or to establish commercial agreements along with technical cooperation are sought.
