Result description
The ULTRAWAVE D-band (141 – 148.5 GHz) point to multipoint wireless system consists of a network of Transmission Hubs to produce wide sector area coverage and compact Terminals to be deployed arbitrarily in the coverage area. Both D-band transmission hubs and terminals use simple radio topology. This is an important design aspect for the economy of the system. A novel high power Traveling Wave Tube (TWT) amplifiers at D-band has been designed and is in final fabrication phase, to provide transmission power to satisfy the link budget. A novel D-band MMMIC chip set, antennas, housing, mother board, filters were designed, built and tested. The novelty in combining TWTs of new design with advanced transceiver at D-band is a progress beyond the state of the art. The advances in D-band technology introduced by the ULTRAWAVE project will boost the European sub-THz industry and independence, speeding up the deployment of innovative products suitable not only for the wireless economy sector, but also for other telecommunication systems or applications such as high resolution radar and imaging.
Addressing target audiences and expressing needs
- Grants and Subsidies
- Venture Capital
We are looking for funding to realize a second optimized prototype of the ULTRAWAVE wireless system as proof of concept for industralization. All the member of the consortium are active and a field test is in preparation.
- Public or private funding institutions
- Research and Technology Organisations
- Private Investors
R&D, Technology and Innovation aspects
The wireless system is in preparation for a field test in real environment. The next step is the revision of the full system and implementation of improvement for perfomance and large scale fabrication.
The D-band wireless system is fully configurable on the basis of the coverage needs.
The definition files are accurate and the system can be built by any company with adequate facilties.
The results are fundamental for data transport for 5G and 6G. It is expected a long term sustainability.
