Distribute, Synchronize and Coordinate: Massively Scalable and Programmable mm-Wave and THz Arrays and Systems for Future Sensing and Communication

Abstract

This proposal seeks support for a 100 GHz -1 THz coherent signal-generation and detection system for enabling massively scalable and synchronous mm-Wave and THz systems for coordinated operation and beamforming. The ultimate goal is to enable universally programmable and THz chip-scale solutions, scalable to large arrays, that can enable a broad range of applications of interest to DOD such as the next-generation 100 Gb/s secure communication systems, high-resolution radar imaging, security screening, contraband detection, explosive detections among others. The goal is to push complexity in THz research moving away from the focus of a single-device to versatile and programmable systems that are capable of rapid reconfigurability in spectrum and electromagnetic field synthesis enabling applications such as hyper spectral imaging, sensing and coordinated beamforming.
