The technical focus of this project is to develop a unified approach for the design of low-cost batch fabricated adaptive radio frequency (RF) transceiver frontends with a goal of achieving robust, high speed and low power wireless communications. These adaptive RF frontends are suitable for either high mobility radio channels or environments with variable fading conditions, such as microwave and millimeter-wave local area networks where movements of personnel and objects can vary a channels' attenuation and fading characteristics. The proposed research is an interdisciplinary effort in material science and electrical engineering that encompasses the development and characterization of adaptive RF frontends, consisting of frequency and polarization agile antenna arrays, electronically tunable delay lines, matching circuits and filters all incorporating thin film barium strontium titanate (BST). BST technology provides many advantages over conventional devices because of its miniaturization and integration features. This research investigates the development and characterization of a broad range of RF devices and components for the design of low cost smart transceivers, which entails physical and RF design, layout, simulation, fabrication and testing.

该项目的技术重点是开发一种统一的方法，用于设计低成本批处理的自适应射频（RF）收发器前端，以实现强大的，高速和低功率无线通信的目标。 这些自适应RF前端适用于具有可变条件的高移动性无线电通道或环境，例如微波炉和毫米波局域网，在这些环境中，人员和物体的运动可以改变通道的衰减和褪色特征。拟议的研究是材料科学和电气工程方面的跨学科努力，涵盖了自适应RF前端的发展和表征，包括频率和极化敏捷天线阵列，电子可调的延迟线，匹配电路，并过滤所有使所有薄膜甲imatrontium titanate（titanate titanate titanate（ BST）。 BST技术由于其微型化和集成功能而提供了比常规设备的许多优势。 这项研究调查了广泛的RF设备和组件的开发和表征，以设计低成本的智能收发器，这些设备需要进行物理和RF设计，布局，仿真，制造和测试。
