Contribution: Industrial Research Assistance Program – Contributions to Firms
Sigma Eight Inc.
$75,000.00
Sub-gram Transmitter
FY 2024-25 · 2024-05-01
Summary
Sigma Eight Inc. is developing a sub gram transmitter for use in wildlife tracking. Current transmitters available on the market today have static programming, and do not have much flexibility in terms of emission interval, protocol, and duty cycle. By utilizing modern microelectronic components, we aim to reduce the package size while maintaining the programmable flexibility of our larger transmitters. This innovation allows for the tracking of juvenile animals and support novel research on climate change, applying the advancements we achieved with larger tags to a more compact transmitter.

Description (French)
Sigma Eight Inc. est en train de mettre au point un émetteur sous-gramme destiné au suivi de la faune. Les émetteurs actuellement disponibles sur le marché ont une programmation statique et n’ont pas beaucoup de flexibilité en matière d’intervalle d’émission, de protocole et de cycle de travail. En utilisant des composants microélectroniques modernes, nous visons à réduire la taille de l’emballage tout en conservant la flexibilité de programmation de nos émetteurs plus grands. Cette innovation permet de suivre les jeunes animaux et de soutenir de nouvelles recherches sur les changements climatiques, en appliquant à un émetteur plus compact les progrès que nous avons réalisés avec des balises plus grandes.
