Grant: Canada Research Chairs
University of Alberta
$100,000.00
Radio Frequency Micro-systems for Communication and Sensing
FY 2017-18
Summary
The Information and Communications Technology industry in Canada is an area of strategic national interest; it is experiencing rapid growth with no signs of slowing down. We use micro/nano technology to surpass the limits of conventional radio frequency devices and will develop lightweight waveguide devices that incorporate new features such as switching and frequency tuning. These new devices will replace the large, heavy, metallic waveguides used today in satellite payloads; high frequency micro-electromechanical resonators will be used to provide ultrasensitive platforms for sensing applications. These technological advances will reduce the weight of electronics in satellite payloads and improve performance; other applications for new, high frequency sensors will be found in the biomedical and energy sectors.
