This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Electrical, Communications and Cyber Systems, under the NSF Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), provides $1,500,000 to the University of Central Florida (UCF) to develop an energy- and spectrum-efficient millimeter-wave (mmW) transmitter array system for next-generation wireless communications.

The key objectives are to: 1) Utilize heterogeneous integration and advanced packaging to embed high-power wide-bandgap semiconductor power amplifier circuits, along with integrated cooling solutions and real-time thermal sensing, 2) Develop a novel hybrid asymmetrical load-modulated balanced amplifier architecture to achieve high efficiency and linearity with inherent reconfigurability, and 3) Implement an AI-assisted controller to dynamically optimize the PA array operation, leveraging over-the-air performance feedback. This project aims to fundamentally improve the energy efficiency of mmW wireless systems, reducing their carbon footprint, while also promoting more efficient use of the mmW spectrum to address growing bandwidth demands.
