The Research Center focuses on the research of 6G high-order MIMO antenna systems, communication baseband algorithms, and sensing technology, which are implemented through the following two research groups:

1. The 6G High-Order MIMO Communication System includes (1) 6G terminal/access-point upper-mid-band MIMO antenna system and (2) 6G high-order MIMO technology studies. The goal is to develop high speed and wide coverage capabilities for the upper-mid-band to become a new 6G spectrum; improve the MIMO spectral efficiency for users in the upper-mid-band, including the current popular (6–9 GHz) and future potential (12–15 GHz) frequency bands to more than 3.5 times that of 5G systems; improve the 6G AI baseband algorithm and smart electromagnetic environment technology; and construct the campus 6G MIMO system demonstration field.
2. The 6G high-frequency MIMO sensing system includes studies on (1) sensing components and MIMO sensing systems, such as 6G microwave/millimeter wave/terahertz frequency bands, and (2) sensing technologies, such as positioning, tracking, imaging, and vital signs. The goal is to develop 6G IoE key sensors and focus on self-driving cars and medical care, including the development of innovative Doppler radar technology combined with advanced MIMO transmission and reception technology to break through the bottleneck of existing radar systems in sensing sensitivity and resolution. The heterogeneous integration of CMOS, GaN, IPD, AiP, and liquid crystal components enables the sensor to operate at millimeter wave/terahertz frequencies with high efficiency and high beamforming capabilities.

The Research Center plans to:

1. Continue to develop advanced MIMO communication systems and sensing technologies and master key research technologies;
2. Actively recruit new researchers, including chair professors and outstanding young scholars, to increase research energy;
3. Recruit domestic and foreign doctoral students, provide sufficient scholarships, and increase research depth;
4. Actively strive for cooperation between the university and nongovernmental and international industries to enhance the team’s practical ability and cross-field thinking; and
5. Promote international cooperation, strive for the EU project, establish an international team and train international industry–university talents, and enhance the global visibility of the team.
