Mission

iRadio lab's mission is to develop new knowledge and innovative enabling technologies applied to intelligent Radio systems and related applications that are valuable to our partners and sponsors and to train highly qualified personnel in the Radio Frequency (RF) and the wireless communications science and technology. (iRadio Brochure)

Background

The Intelligent RF Radio technology Laboratory (iRadio Lab) was founded by Dr. Fadhel Ghannouchi, CRC Chair (Tier 1) and iCORE Professor in May 2005. The research activities of the lab aim at developing innovative and mixed RF/DSP co-design techniques and approaches for the highly spectrum-efficient and power-efficient transceivers for the advanced communications systems. This will be contributing to the development of the RF Radio Technology for the broadband CDMA and OFDM based wireless communications systems.
