TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER LICENSING OPPORTUNITY: Agile RFID Antenna System (MSC-TOPS-79)

The NASA Technology Transfer Program is soliciting inquiries from companies interested in obtaining license rights to commercialize, manufacture, and market the Agile RFID Antenna System technology. This technology improves communication between RFID readers and tags in open and enclosed areas. Potential applications include retail inventory management, manufacturing/assembly line tracking, industrial transportation and logistics, sports bio-analysis, and healthcare. • The technology integrates an inexpensive frequency multiplexer to the RFID reader antennas, allowing for new methods of localization and improved read accuracy and range. • The Agile RFID Antenna System can use smaller antennas in enclosed areas, reducing the volume required for an RFID system to operate. • Companies interested in this licensing opportunity can submit a license application through NASA's Automated Technology Licensing Application System (ATLAS).
