The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) federal grant program (CFDA 47.070), awarded a $1,136,746 project grant to Northeastern University to co-develop radio frequency (RF) architectures, analog computing algorithms, and compute-in-memory architectures for code-domain, multiple-input/multiple-output (MIMO) radar systems. The goal is to reimagine the boundary between analog and digital signal processing for MIMO radar, enabling low-power and ADC-free architectures that can scale to large MIMO arrays. The project aims to prototype a low-power, high-performance radar system-on-chip using commercial CMOS technologies, with expected 10-100x reduction in power consumption and 5x lower compute time per frame compared to conventional radar systems. The advancements in MIMO radar technology are expected to enhance detection range and target discrimination, improving safety and efficiency in applications such as autonomous vehicles, drone navigation, aviation, and security systems. The project runs from January 1, 2025 to September 30, 2027.
