Taiwan makes 4D sensing technology breakthrough

A team comprising leading academics from Taiwan’s top tertiary institutions recently developed a multiple-input, multiple-output sensing technology that will enable a wide range of wireless sensing services to be accessible anytime and anywhere.
 
According to the National Science and Technology Council, the group comprises electrical engineering researchers from National Sun Yat-sen University, National Tsing Hua University and National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, as well as National Applied Research Laboratories. The research was supported by the NSTC’s “Key Technology R&D Project for Next-Generation Communication Systems” initiative. 
 
The next-generation communications industry is one of the Five Trusted Industry Sectors in the strategic promotion undertaken by the current administration, the council said. It added that a global priority is the development of standards for joint communication and sensing in 6G and WiFi systems, which hold significant potential for vital applications.
 
The NSTC said the local research breakthrough integrates seamlessly with modern MIMO communication systems while enhancing daily convenience, safety and health.
 
Highlights of the research results include a MIMO 6G terahertz transceiver chip that effectively addresses inefficiency and high power consumption, and an innovative self-injection locking mechanism to transform extremely low frequency Doppler shift into wideband modulation to enhance sensitivity.
 
The team is collaborating with partners from the automobile and healthcare sectors to develop products such as in-car child presence detectors, 4D imaging radars, elderly fall detection alarms and non-contact patient monitors, among other applications, the NSTC said. (SFC-E)
