TORIS
This project aims at using printed electronics to develop reconfigurable antennas. The planned activities involve the design and simulation of microwave antenna arrays, the high-frequency characterisation of reconfigurable devices and antennas, and the integration and characterisation of prototypes. A digital control system based on FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) will be integrated with the array of antennas, thus facilitating experimental validation. Such antennas could potentially be applied to the sixth generation of mobile communications (6G), providing better mobile coverage inside buildings, but also play a vital role in 3D detection of human presence in the healthcare, automotive or manufacturing sectors.
TERRAMETA
TERRAMETA is an Horizon Europe project in the scope of the Smart Networks and Services Joint Undertaking (SNS-JU) that started on January 2023 and aims to investigate revolutionary technologies for 6G and demonstrate the feasibility of Terahertz (THz) Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (RIS) assisted ultra-high data rate wireless communications networks. Novel high-performance hardware including the THz RIS and THz transmitter/receiver will be developed and advanced network analysis/optimizations techniques will be developed using these real THz components. The proposed TERRAMETA THz network will be driven by 6G usage scenario requirements and indoor, outdoor, and indoor-to-outdoor scenarios will be demonstrated in real factory setting and telecom testing field.
