Advances in radio signal processing
and biological imaging can affect all of our lives. In the Department of
Electrical and Computer Engineering, faculty working with graduate and undergraduate
students are pioneering optoelectronics solutions to enhance communication
and biological research.
Professors Kelvin Wagner
and Zoya Popovic, with Professor Dana Anderson of Physics and collaborators
at other institutions, are developing new optical techniques for receiving
and processing signals from high-frequency arrays of radio frequency (RF)
antennas. These optical techniques include reconfiguring antenna characteristics,
processing multiple RF signals using holographic and spectral techniques
in real time, and pre-processing signals to correct for array misalignments.
"A phased array of small
antennas, which can form narrow, precise beams, can be optically or electronically
controlled and pointed at regions or targets of interest, and even follow
moving signal sources," says Professor Wagner. "Using phased arrays also
makes it possible to reduce noise disruption of incoming signals." More
