We’re working to meet the rapidly evolving needs of industry and society, forging new paths in everything from long-distance airborne radar systems and high-speed Earth-to-space communications to ultrafast space-borne platform communications.

Our research

High sensitivity HTS receiver and high-speed digital modem development for THz communications

20 Gbps THz transmission system prototype.

In collaboration with the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), our team is conducting feasibility studies for THz detection and communication systems using a high sensitivity, high temperature superconducting (HTS)-based receiver frontend. Taking 300 GHz and above frequency bands as the starting point, the project aims to verify the capabilities of the system in terms of data rate, bandwidth, operation distance, size and power consumption by applying the HTS THz radio frontend to the frequency band for detection and communications. A baseband signal processing prototype, incorporating real-time data encoding/decoding and modulation/demodulation, will also be built with the aim of achieving a 20 Gbps data rate and demonstrating THz communication capability with a communication range over 100 metres.

High-speed millimetre wave communications

This project aims to develop Terabits per second data rate millimetre wave communication systems with high spectral efficiency and long transmission range. The initial phase will involve the creation of a 50 Gbps system with 10 bits/s/Hz spectral efficiency in 5 GHz bandwidth using the E-band frequencies (71-76 GHz and 81-86 GHz). The system will include a dual channel digital modem and two sets of radio frontends with dual polarisation. The high-speed digital modem will be developed at UTS, while the E-band RF IC will be developed in collaboration with Hangzhou Dianzi University. Further employing line-of-sight (LOS) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology, we will develop a 100 Gbps system to achieve 20 bits/s/Hz spectral efficiency. Subsequent phases include the use of the 10 GHz E-band spectrum to achieve 200 Gbps data rate, then an additional 40 GHz D-band spectrum (110- 170 GHz) to achieve the targeted Terabit system.

 

Synthetic aperture radio holography for high-resolution remote sensing

Funded by the Australian Research Council, this project will develop fundamental theory and enabling technology for a novel radio remote sensing system using a breakthrough synthetic aperture radio holography concept. Such a system leapfrogs current capabilities to produce high-resolution, day-and-night and weather-independent three-dimensional images for diverse applications, including geoscience and climate change research, environmental and agricultural monitoring, defence and security-related target detection and planetary exploration. The project will advance sensing and data processing knowledge and result in the development of a prototype demonstrating the success of the developed analogue and digital hardware, with expected economic growth benefits on commercialisation and application.
