Projectdetails

Introduction

The relentless demand to increase data rates, traffic, and connected devices in our mobile communications has prompted a paradigm shift in wireless technology. 5G and the forthcoming 6G will use mm-waves and miniaturized antenna systems that need to be low-cost and energetically efficient.

Challenge

An unresolved challenge of this transition is the miniaturization of non-reciprocal devices above 100 GHz.

Vision

Pi4NoRM envisions an on-chip integration of miniaturized self-biased non-reciprocal magnetic components for the forecasted 6G evolution.

Functions of Passive Devices

Those passive devices are significant components fulfilling three critical functions within RF systems:

  1. Decoupling amplifiers
  2. Protecting the systems against mismatched impedances or electromagnetic aggression
  3. Enabling the Full-Duplex operation of antennas

Objectives

Pi4NoRM aims to fill the gap between materials science and mm-wave engineering to develop sub-THz, ultra-compact, self-biased non-reciprocal elements.

Impact

The success of Pi4NoRM could open an expansive innovation roadmap toward more capable RF systems and radar.

Strategy

For this reason, a strategic transfer strategy is also implemented in Pi4NoRM.
