Brief Description of Research Areas

The WIRG views improving radio frequency (RF) spectrum availability as a crucial challenge to address. Spectrum availability for wireless internet access (cellular, Wi-Fi, etc.), for weather observing via Earth Observing Satellites (EOS), for Radio Astronomy scientific observations investigating the formation of the Universe, and for aircraft and military operations truly pervade every aspect of daily life. Our research focus is on the intersection of wireless communications, passive and active spectrum sharing, spectrum policy, and hardware security in support of secure spectrum sharing for communications and scientific purposes. Several of the lab’s ongoing projects are supported by the National Science Foundation and by NASA.
