This $275,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program supports the development of "Computational Antennas" (Comptenna) - a new computational unit that can perform programmable analog computations at the antenna in the millimeter wave and sub-terahertz bands. The goal is to significantly expand the degrees of control to enable novel wireless communications and sensing applications on next-generation mobile devices. The award will fund three main research tasks: (1) Comptenna hardware, computational model, and simulation development; (2) techniques to leverage Comptenna for energy-efficient beamforming and interference management; and (3) foundations for a layered joint sensing and communications architecture. The project will also contribute to workforce development by training graduate, undergraduate, and high school students, including underrepresented minorities, in the semiconductor and wireless industries. No sub-awards are planned under this grant, which has an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2025.
