To facilitate licensing, we offer short-term Demo Units to help you
evaluate the technology.
Global Leader in patented radar sensors
Our patents are the creation of world-renowned inventor Tom McEwan,
who holds 56 U.S. patents (Listing
of Patents) and 214 patents and patent applications globally –
the world’s largest radar sensor portfolio.
Background
McEwan invented Micropower Impulse Radar (MIR) in 1992 during his tenure
at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL). MIR was cited by the
The Guiness Book of Records as “the world’s smallest radar
system” and MIR became the Department of Energy’s most widely
licensed technology. By 1998, 28 licenses were granted to industry at
an issue fee of $100,000 each. MIR technology was valued at several
billion in annual sales potential and today numerous products are available
from companies such as GE/Interlogix,
Saab/Rosemount, and Magnetrol.
The editors of Popular Science magazine published a cover story listing
101 uses for the technology and Electronic Design News honored MIR as
one of the year’s “100 Hottest Products.” McEwan’s
MIR patents are available for licensing
from LLNL.
McEwan
left LLNL in 1996 to work independently and he founded McEwan Technologies,
LLC (MET) to license his new patents. Today, many companies have licensed
from MET and he continues to develop radar sensor technology from his
home laboratory in Las Vegas, Nevada.
