This $450,000 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) seeks to advance wireless communication technologies by incorporating a new type of reconfigurable antenna, known as a dynamic metasurface antenna (DMA), into multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication systems. The key objectives are to develop methods to integrate DMAs into MIMO to create a "tri-hybrid MIMO architecture" that combines digital beamforming, analog beamforming, and antenna reconfiguration. This research aims to enable the development of MIMO systems with significantly larger apertures than current commercial wireless technologies, allowing for improved spectral efficiency, higher data rates, and better connectivity for more users. The project will involve creating new models, analyses, algorithms, and design insights to address the challenges of incorporating DMAs into MIMO architectures. Comprehensive evaluations through simulations will demonstrate the effectiveness of the developed solutions. The outcomes are expected to substantially enhance future wireless communication capabilities.
