Project Grant 2229104

This $375,000 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences under CFDA 47.049, the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program. The grant supports a collaborative research project titled "SWIFT: Facilitating Novel Modalities for Spectrum Sharing between Earth-Observing Microwave Radiometers and Commercial Users." The project aims to examine and develop new techniques to mitigate the effects of radio frequency interference on satellite-based microwave radiometers, which are critical for environmental sensing, climate and weather research. The research will focus on ensuring compatibility between remote sensing systems and large satellite constellations. The project will utilize both modeling and evaluation on the Colosseum test platform. The award was made to the Trustees of Boston University, a private university in Boston, Massachusetts, and runs from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026. No sub-awards are planned under this grant.
