The National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities awarded $1.3M to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York (RF-SUNY) under CFDA 47.083 (Integrative Activities) on March 1, 2026, to establish a state-of-the-art shared research facility at the University at Albany. The project delivers the acquisition and maintenance of an advanced Instrument for Spectrum Science capable of operating across extreme bandwidths up to 50 GHz, covering sub-6 GHz through terahertz frequencies and multiple frequency bands (X, Ku, K, Ka, D, H bands, and optical frequencies). This unique testbed enables multi-institutional, interdisciplinary research and experimental prototyping in wireless communication, sensing, and imaging applications—research capabilities previously infeasible due to the lack of a comprehensive facility spanning such a wide frequency range. The facility will serve researchers and students across the Central New York region, bridging the gap between theoretical research and practical application by enabling rapid prototyping and testing of novel algorithms in electromagnetic spectrum utilization. The three-year project period extends through February 28, 2029, and includes educational components designed to introduce undergraduate students to advanced research and instrumentation, with potential benefits for student retention and STEM workforce development.
