The research challenges are to develop and simulate device reference designs, minimizing power consumption, increasing performance and scalability, and advancing miniaturization and packaging. We will develop reconfigurable antennas, power- and low-noise amplifiers, and microwave front ends. In parallel, we will design and build optoelectronic devices including modulators, photodetectors, and micro electronic sensors. In order to leverage interdisciplinary design, simulation, and characterization capabilities, the intra-axis expertise links RF hardware experts (e.g., Denidni, Sebak, Wu) with optoelectronic device experts (e.g., Adams, Chen, Skorobogatiy).

The work will use infrastructure including RF test and measurement facilities at ÉTS (e.g., device characterization), INRS (e.g., anechoic chamber) and Poly (e.g., vector network analyzer), alongside optoelectronic characterization at McGill (e.g., electrical and optical spectrum analyzers).
