Integrated Telecommunication and Sensing Systems Research

We are focused on pioneering advancements in microwave and mm-Wave Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits (RFIC) and systems that underpin the future of wireless communication and sensing technologies. Our research addresses critical fundamental challenges in high-frequency design, focusing on three primary areas:

  • Investigating THz phased-array transceivers to enable ultra-high data-rate communications, essential for emerging applications such as 6G networks and high-resolution imaging.

  • Exploring advanced mm-wave radar systems (60 GHz, 70 GHz, 140 GHz) to drive next-generation sensing applications, including autonomous systems, healthcare diagnostics, and precision industrial monitoring.

  • Innovating wideband hybrid beamforming phased arrays for extremely massive Multi-Input Multi-Output (MIMO) systems, which are key to meeting the growing demands for capacity, coverage, and efficiency in future wireless networks.

Sub-THz (> 90 GHz) Phased-Array Transceivers

  • Development of scalable, high-efficiency phased-array systems for ultra-high data rate communications.

  • Addressing critical challenges, including power efficiency, thermal management, and packaging of dense phased-array systems.

High-Resolution mmWave Radars (60 GHz, 70 GHz, and 140 GHz)

  • Designing radar systems with sub-degree angular resolution for industrial mining, robotics, autonomous vehicles, and health monitoring applications.

  • Advancing radar technology through scalable FMCW MIMO systems and full-digital radar architectures leveraging OFDM modulation.

6G Hybrid Beamforming Transceivers (7-24 GHz)

  • Investigating multi-band hybrid beamforming architectures (7–24 GHz) to meet the demands of future high-capacity communications.

  • Incorporating interference-cancelling front-end architectures to enhance system performance in dense deployment scenarios.

SATCOM Systems

  • Exploring phased-array systems and beamforming architectures for SATCOM applications

  • Investigating hybrid terrestrial and non-terrestrial networks to support integration of SATCOM with 6G infrastructure.
