Funded Activity Summary

Digitally controlled mm-wave band selective devices and MEMS technology. This project aims to develop millimetre-wave frequency selective devices with programmable frequency response, using a silicon technology platform. It will design and make an entire radio system, including its tuneable antenna, at the wafer level. Wafer scale integration ensures the devices are compact and low cost, and can be inserted into smart watches for touchless gesture control, and minuscule devices, too small to be connected to the internet today. The project will demonstrate its devices in a wireless communication system operating at unprecedented data rates of over 100 Gb/s. These could transform terrestrial and satellite communication systems and propel Australia to the forefront of wireless communications.
