This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program, focuses on the development and validation of active reconfigurable intelligent surface (Active-RIS) technology operating at 142 GHz for sub-terahertz (sub-THz) wireless networks.

The $200,000 award, effective October 1, 2024, supports a 3-year collaborative research project led by Trustees of Tufts College (Tufts University). The project consists of three key thrusts: 1) designing and prototyping a wideband liquid crystal-based passive and active RIS at 142 GHz, 2) developing robust and efficient algorithms for optimal control of the Active-RIS, and 3) validating the technology through simulations and on-site wireless propagation measurements. This research aims to advance the state-of-the-art in sub-THz communications by leveraging Active-RIS to overcome the challenges of limited communication distance in the sub-THz frequency bands.
