An Autonomous and Rapid-Response MIMO DiGiTAL Array Receiver Front-End Architecture with Hybrid Spectral-Spatial Unknown Signal Suppression and Extreme Bandwidth (ARGUS)

Abstract

The proposed project aims at designing and demonstrating next generation wireless frontend array system architectures what can support wideband communication links and be robust in increasingly complex and dynamic EM environment. The demonstrated system can also support the wireless communication links with "smart" front-end functionalities such as autonomous spatial filters and dynamic array operations. This is in response to the rapidly growing use of mm-Wave spectrum for next generation wireless systems, which requires enhanced wideband, high data rate, enhanced signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and wireless link budget through array-based systems. These advanced applications impose stringent requirements on the array frontend circuits. To achieve this goal, this project will involve designing new circuits and system architectures to efficiently handle the signals and interferences, including ultra-wideband RX frontend, 2D autonomous beamforming, autonomous polarization alignment, and time-modulated array with concurrent steerable multi-beam MIMOs. The effectiveness of these proposed system is tested with state-of-the-art silicon IC implementations and is demonstrated through real-world experiments and measurements.
