Dr. Nick Laneman, Center Director of SpectrumX – the first NSF Spectrum Innovation Center, and Co-Director of the Wireless Institute at Notre Dame, recently gave a keynote presentation at IEEE DySPAN 2021. IEEE DySPAN is the premier conference on diverse issues related to spectrum sensing, access, sharing, coexistence, and utilization within current and emerging wireless tracks.
Scott Palo wants to send RALPHIE to space.
RALPHIE the satellite, that is. The U.S. Air Force is providing support to help make it happen.
Palo, a professor of aerospace engineering sciences at the University of Colorado Boulder, and Associate Director of SpectrumX has earned an Air Force Research Laboratory University Nanosatellite Program (UNP) grant to design RALPHIE, named for CU Boulder’s buffalo mascot. The acronym stands for “Radio And Laser PatH agnostIc communications Experiment.”

SpectrumX held a Kick-off Event on November 4 – 5, 2021 to launch the newly awarded National Science Foundation Spectrum Innovation Center. A General Information Session opened the event to provide an overview of the new center.
The kick-off brought together the SpectrumX team to begin development of the Center’s initial Implementation Plan. The event also provided an introduction and opportunity to connect with the spectrum community and receive feedback and input on the Center’s plans to maximize relevance and impact of the teams’ work. The recorded General Information Session provides an Overview of SpectrumX and an introduction to the Research Projects, Broadening Participation activities, Education and Workforce Development initiatives, and Collaboration, Innovation and Commercialization efforts.
