The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) invites you to participate in a short survey about your
interaction with the ARDC and use of our national research infrastructure and services. The survey will take
approximately 5 minutes and is anonymous. It’s open to anyone who uses our digital research infrastructure
services including Reasearch Link Australia.
We will use the information you provide to improve the national research infrastructure and services we
deliver and to report on user satisfaction to the Australian Government’s National Collaborative Research
Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) program.
Please take a few minutes to provide your input. The survey closes COB Friday 29 May 2026.

Brillouin processing for carrier recovery in optical communications. This project aims to apply Brillouin processing to the development of an innovative, self-tracking optical filter for isolating optical carriers in the coherent receiver of future ultrahigh bit-rate optical communication systems. By recovering a needle-like optical carrier with great precision from a drifting sea of wide-band noise and data channels, the project expects to minimise the effect of optical carrier distortions on t ....Brillouin processing for carrier recovery in optical communications. This project aims to apply Brillouin processing to the development of an innovative, self-tracking optical filter for isolating optical carriers in the coherent receiver of future ultrahigh bit-rate optical communication systems. By recovering a needle-like optical carrier with great precision from a drifting sea of wide-band noise and data channels, the project expects to minimise the effect of optical carrier distortions on the data-carrying signals. The project should advance knowledge in optical signal processing and communications technologies, with outcomes that increase the data-carrying capacity of optical networks. Future telecommunication networks should benefit through improved transmission rates and extended fibre links.Read moreRead less
Reconfigurable polymer antennas. This research will utilise conductive polymers, or 'synthetic metals', as flexible and smart materials for radio-frequency antennas technology. The created antenna prototypes will find applications in biomedical devices (for example, for wearable devices and implants), for tagging (identification), and in reconfigurable antennas for wireless communication.
Advanced microwave and millimetre-wave microelectromechanical technologies for wireless communications. The project deals with the development and integration of radio frequency microelectromechanical devices that can reduce space and cost concomitant with enhanced performance. The outcomes of this proposal are devices with increased functionality required for multi-gigabit data rate transmission and millimetre wave wireless technologies.

This project aims to develop communications protocols and algorithms to enable energy-efficient, reliable and low latency machine-to-machine (M2M) networks, connecting a massive number of heterogeneous machine type devices. M2M communications are key to unlocking the Internet of Things’s potential to improve economic productivity and life quality. This project will develop new theories and devise a proof-of-concept M2M test-bed to evaluate and verify the proposed technologies. The intended outcomes of the project are to contribute to the global standardisation of M2M networks and the new type of world-class wireless infrastructure, as an integral part of the emerging digital society.Read moreRead less
On-chip radio frequency photonics for advanced signal processing. This project proposes new integrated photonic modules to tackle challenges in on-chip photonic processing of wideband radio frequency signals. It will develop enhanced electromagnetically induced transparency for RF frequency filtering, compact all-in-one phase shifter for adaptive beamforming and programmable signal processing, and distributed and cascaded signal processing functions in photonic links.
