The National Science Foundation Division of Electrical, Communications and Cyber Systems awarded Georgia TECH Research Corp $485,000 on October 1, 2026, to develop a resilient and scalable near-real-time electromagnetic sensing system for unknown signals under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041). The research will create an autonomous electromagnetic sensing microelectronic system operating across spectral, spatial, and temporal domains to achieve near real-time responsiveness, high sensitivity, and adaptability to unknown or arbitrary signals. Work is structured around four key tasks: developing autonomous, near-real-time beam tracking using analog cross-correlation for wideband, low-power, and resilient operation; designing a novel scalable daisy-chain semiconductor integrated circuit architecture to support large sensor arrays while maintaining robustness against hardware imperfections; and two additional technical tasks. The project addresses spectrum management by enabling smarter and more adaptive spectrum sharing, reducing interference, and unlocking underutilized resources to support wireless services, safety, security, and innovation. The effort includes educational outreach to inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers through engagement with local schools. Performance occurs in Atlanta, Georgia, from October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2029. Georgia TECH Research Corp, doing business as the Office of Sponsored Programs, is the research arm of the Georgia Institute of Technology.
