Development of microwave tomography techniques and inverse methods for biomedical imaging applications. Microwave tomography is a rapidly emerging imaging technology with highly significant applications in industry and medicine. In particular, given its sensitivity to differences between normal and malignant breast tissue, non-invasive microwave imaging has been the subject of intense research interest in the last ten years.

Microwave tomography is a rapidly emerging imaging technology with highly significant applications in industry and medicine. In particular, given its sensitivity to differences between normal and malignant breast tissue, non-invasive microwave imaging has been the subject of intense research interest in the last ten years. In collaboration with workers at Chalmers University in Sweden, we will develop and evaluate a scanning microwave imaging tomographic system with a number of potential industrial and biomedical applications. This appears to be a new Australian initiative.Read moreRead less
Ultra-Fast and Secure Terahertz Communications for 6G Wireless Systems. This project aims to develop new theories and signal processing solutions for the cutting-edge technology of terahertz communications to enable the revolutionary sixth-generation wireless systems, by exploring and optimising the inherent benefits of the terahertz band. Anticipated outcomes are new analytical tools and practical guidelines for designing ultra-fast and secure wireless transmission at an unprecedented speed up ....Ultra-Fast and Secure Terahertz Communications for 6G Wireless Systems. This project aims to develop new theories and signal processing solutions for the cutting-edge technology of terahertz communications to enable the revolutionary sixth-generation wireless systems, by exploring and optimising the inherent benefits of the terahertz band. Anticipated outcomes are new analytical tools and practical guidelines for designing ultra-fast and secure wireless transmission at an unprecedented speed up to terabits per second (Tbps). This enables various emerging applications, such as holographic telepresence, Tbps WiFi and Tbps wireless data centres, to drive transformation in the telecommunications sector, boost industry productivity and support our intelligent information society in the 2030s.Read moreRead less
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.
Dual-band antennas with digitally steerable beams made out of multi-state electromagnetic elements. A collection of antennas required for forthcoming wireless systems will be designed, made and tested. They are ideal for wireless on-body medical devices and wireless transmission of high-quality video and high-speed data. These systems will bring great benefits to wireless users and patients, including better quality of life and convenience.
Wideband Strongly-Truncated Composite Cavity-Resonator Antennas. A rapidly growing demand for fast wireless services calls for wideband communication systems with wideband antennas, which are compact, aesthetically appealing and inexpensive, yet have good performance. With novel concepts, this project aims to produce a new class of antennas that deliver impressive performance (bandwidth and gain) while taking up a dramatically reduced area in a way that was impossible before, increasing a figure ....Wideband Strongly-Truncated Composite Cavity-Resonator Antennas. A rapidly growing demand for fast wireless services calls for wideband communication systems with wideband antennas, which are compact, aesthetically appealing and inexpensive, yet have good performance. With novel concepts, this project aims to produce a new class of antennas that deliver impressive performance (bandwidth and gain) while taking up a dramatically reduced area in a way that was impossible before, increasing a figure-of-merit to up to seven times the state-of-the-art. Their planar geometry and simplicity lead to low cost. This is expected to create new knowledge, design methods and examples, prototypes, test results and guidelines required to design, optimise and make these versatile antennas for emerging robust broadband wireless systems.Read moreRead less
