Regional connectivity symposium

On 28 September 2023, the Connectivity Innovation Network (hosted by us/GBDTC/UTS) held its regional connectivity symposium in Lismore at Southern Cross University. The theme was sensing for disasters and we also visited the Northern Rivers Lab.

It was a jointly branded event with another innovation network – the NSW Smart Sensing Network and we also then released a call for proposals on this theme – sensing for disasters.

Reconfigurable scanning multibeam antennas for emergency communications

The recent devastating flooding events in NSW have demonstrated that emergency communications in rural and regional areas remain a significant challenge, and are critical for the resilience of our communities.

With globally recognised research excellence in reconfigurable antennas, our researchers are addressing the above challenge by creating a number of breakthroughs in reconfigurable scanning multibeam antennas. These are based on two types of technologies. The first are hybrid antenna structures we pioneered in the last decade, and the second are novel circuit-type multiple beamforming matrices we developed recently. Our current focus is on the development of low profile and low cost multibeam antennas, targeting at low earth orbit (LEO) satellite communications for emergency services.

Metamaterial-inspired antennas

Our pioneering research on metamaterial-inspired antennas has enabled the creation of new metamaterials and their subsequent application in the development of novel antennas. Metamaterials are those engineered to exhibit exotic characteristics not achievable with natural materials. This globally significant contribution to applied electromagnetics and high-performance antennas resulted in project leader Distinguished Professor Richard W Ziolkowski being recognised with the prestigious IEEE Field Medal in Electromagnetics.

Base station antennas for 4G/5G/Beyond 5G

We are at the forefront of research and development in cellular base station antenna systems, delivering innovations in wideband and multiband antenna arrays, co-existence of multiple generation antennas, multi-beam antennas and mm-wave antennas for the cellular industry. Our research strength and industrial experience in this area have seen us deliver numerous highly successful industry projects, with the resulting antenna commercialised and used by Telstra.
