This $300,000 project grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Program (CFDA 47.070), aims to explore near-field propagation properties of wireless signals to enable blockage-resilient high-speed multi-user wireless communications above 100 GHz. The research encompasses four key thrusts: (1) understanding and modeling the fundamental limits of near-field wavefront shaping for agile and high-speed communications in scenarios with link blockage, (2) investigating the design and fabrication of a programmable array architecture to generate and dynamically adapt near-field wavefronts, (3) designing and implementing power-efficient digital signal processing algorithms to support 10s of GHz of bandwidth, and (4) developing foundations for interference modeling and multi-user communications across near- and far-field regions. This collaborative project is being led by Northeastern University, a private research university in Boston, Massachusetts, with a focus on addressing critical challenges in terahertz wireless communications technology.
