Simulation of a next-generation phased array based Ultrasonic Polar Scan system for the characterisation of visco-elastic materials KU Leuven
Recently, there has been a strong drift towards the use of composite materials, such as the Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymers (CFRP). Indeed, these mixtures of a lightweight polymer matrix and embedded carbon fibres lead to a high strength-to-weight ratio which is beneficial in applications where high performance is required. Evidently, in order to efficiently incorporate these composite materials in specific components, some key mechanical ...

Novel THz multi-beam sparse array concept, exploiting true time delay metamaterial lenses and air-filled-substrate-integrated-waveguide technology Ghent University
This project aims to establish a new class of sparse antenna arrays based on metamaterial lens topologies to resolve the increased power dissipation of the typically highly dense phased array systems. In doing so, highly directive, steerable and efficient array operation can be extended into the THz-range, enabling ultra-high data rate, ultra-low latency systems required for 6G, autonomous vehicles, AR/VR.

A cryogenic ADC for quantum computering in 28nm Technology KU Leuven
Normally, a quantum computer consists of quantum processor and classical controller. The core of a quantum processor is an array of quantum bits (qubits) which are the basic logic unit of quantum computation. Due to the coherence of quantum states, only at temperatures near absolute zero(tens of mK) can accuracy of quantum computing be ensured. Today, the control circuit and system of qubits for reading out work at room temperature, while ...
Design technology co-optimization of emerging storage class memories KU Leuven
Because of our increasing reliance on information nowadays, both for home and personal use along with business and professional needs, more and more data are being generated, processed, moved, stored, and retained in multiple copies for longer periods of time. Research has shown that the biggest performance bottleneck with popular smart-phone apps such as Facebook and Google Maps is, in fact, how fast they can read and write a device’s data ...
Beam steering and control of large area ultrasound actuator arrays for haptic perception KU Leuven
Traditional microphone units focus on human perceptible sound waves (between 20 Hz and 20 kHz). Acoustic development also focuses on ultrasound, compromising the frequencies above the detection limit of the human ear (from 20 kHz to several GHz). These sound waves can be used for a wide variety of applications, including medical imaging, therapeutic treatment, non-destructive testing and position localization of objects. Nowadays, ultrasonic ...

All-Pass Networks for Millimeter-Wave 5G: Phase-Shifters and Beyond KU Leuven
The fifth generation of wireless cellular technology (5G) arrived with the promise to achieve higher data-rates and higher connectivity, as well as to enable cutting-edge applications such as autonomous driving. To deliver the promised leap-forward, 5G relies on the development of key features, such as millimeter-wave frequencies, Massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO), and beamforming. These features require synergy between multiple ...
