The University of Southern California received a $400,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Computing and Communication Foundations (CFDA 47.070) effective February 1, 2026, through January 31, 2030. This collaborative research initiative focuses on developing ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna array technology and associated signal processing algorithms for next-generation wireless communications operating in the 7-24 GHz upper mid-band spectrum. The project will deliver foundational research, mathematical frameworks, and antenna adaptation algorithms that enable single integrated wideband antenna arrays to replace conventional narrowband phased-array systems that unnecessarily fragment the available spectrum into multiple sub-bands. The research addresses critical technical challenges in beamforming for wideband operation by developing true time delay array techniques to replace standard phase-shift beamforming methods. Deliverables include novel antenna structures, advanced adaptation algorithms, and new mathematical tools that support efficient spectrum utilization while reducing transmitted power and interference. The project will also advance integrated sensing and communication capabilities through next-generation large UWB antenna arrays, with anticipated benefits to U.S. global competitiveness in wireless technologies. Research will be conducted at the University of Southern California's Los Angeles, California campus.Federal Grant Award Summary
