Microwave source prototype commercialization

A coherent microwave source is a crucial component in various applications operating within the RF frequency band, including telecommunications, sensing and medical imaging. It provides a stable reference signal, transmits information, and drives other RF components. Recent research by the Hu Group has developed a new method for generating highly coherent microwave emissions, which holds great promise for creating a better performance and compact microwave source compared to current market offerings. The intern’s role involves engineering and optimizing this microwave source using the new method, conducting market research to assess its potential, and laying the groundwork for a future startup. Once the prototype is validated, both partner organizations will benefit from investment opportunities, while also creating valuable advertising and outreach opportunities to attract future interns.
