This National Science Foundation (NSF) project grant award to Purdue University, provided under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), focuses on developing a new framework for "Medium Distance Baseline Interferometry" (MDBI) to leverage 5G cellular communication networks for high-resolution sensing applications. The $164,894 award, with a project period from October 2023 to June 2025, aims to address key technical challenges in using communication signals and infrastructure for activities like outdoor positioning, wide-area imaging for surveillance, and remote sensing from satellites. The research will involve software and hardware testbeds to demonstrate the MDBI approach, which draws on the very long baseline interferometry technique used for the historic 2019 black hole imaging. The project also includes educational components like K-12 outreach and course development. No subawards are planned under this grant.
