Northeastern University secures $15M grant for advanced antenna research
What happened
Researchers at Northeastern University, Josep Jornet and Tommaso Melodia, are leading a new $15 million research center funded by the U.S. Army Research Office. The project is focused on developing Extremely Large Scale Antenna Arrays (ELSAAs) capable of bending and sculpting radio waves. This innovation could serve as a foundational technology for improving object detection in challenging environments.
