Highly-efficient integrated antennas for the new generation of communication systems in the millimetre band
High-Int is a Vinnova project, funded under the Smartare Elektroniksystem framework.
Wireless communications are rapidly evolving. In particular, users are demanding new services in the present networks that require of higher data transfer. The new generation of mobile communications, 5G, started to be deployed at the end of 2019. However, 5G will only cover the present needs of the users. Further research to increase the rates of wireless communications is needed now to cover the expectations in a near future. Since most of the low frequency spectrum is already crowded, the only possibility is increasing the operational frequency where narrow bands permit larger data transfer and short delays.
High-Int will enable a complementary cooperation between both Ericsson and KTH. KTH has experience in the development of innovative antenna solutions, typically fully-metallic antennas based on the concept of lenses and leaky-waves, and Ericsson AB is a leading technology-driven company in telecommunications.
In High-Int, we will have the participation of KTH and Ericsson AB. Additionally, industrial Master students will be involved in collaboration between both institutions.
