Sub-THz and THz Network Analyzer Modules for Research on 6G Communications and Remote Sensing
Abstract
this DURIP project (led by Georgakopoulos, PI, and Volakis, co-PI) requests instrumentation that will enable TAC to conduct research in sub-THz (170-260 GHz) and THz (260-400 GHz) frequency bands. This instrumentation will significantly impact the work of over 60 researchers at TAC, who form our multidisciplinary team with expertise in electromagnetics, mechanics, mathematics, and computational origami. Also, several other projects funded by DoD, NSF and other government agencies will benefit by access to the proposed computing cloud. The proposed instrumentation will significantly enhance- (a) EM research for next-generation space platforms with resilient communication and remote sensing capabilities in the sub-THz and THz bands, which will support the needs and mission of Air Force and DoD, and (b) undergraduate and graduate education and training of students. The proposed instrumentation will have broader impact by providing important measurement capabilities that will enable TAC to support- (a) state-of-the-art EM and THz research, thereby attracting new academic and industry collaborators, fostering new opportunities for cross-disciplinary and multi-institutional research, and (b) the development of a strong and diverse U.S. workforce in electromagnetics and RF.
