CLASSIC's research spans five interconnected areas that together are laying the foundation for the next generation of wireless technologies.
Build smarter wireless systems
Researchers are designing new antenna systems, AI models and hardware that allow wireless technologies to detect more information, communicate more effectively and operate in environments that are difficult for today's systems. These advances are built on breakthroughs in extremely large-scale antenna arrays and their underlying physics.
Help systems detect what people can’t
Researchers are developing technologies that use radio waves rather than visible light to detect, image and understand objects in environments where traditional cameras cannot.
Keep communications reliable
Researchers are designing wireless systems that continue working even when signals are interrupted, crowded or intentionally disrupted.
Protect against emerging threats
As wireless technologies become more widespread, they also become more vulnerable. CLASSIC is developing new approaches to help protect critical systems from interference, disruption and emerging electronic threats.
Move discoveries into practice
From laboratory prototypes to field demonstrations, researchers will evaluate new technologies across multiple frequency bands and increasingly realistic environments. Partnerships with industry will help accelerate the transition of discoveries into practical applications.
