To bolster its commitment to driving innovative spectrum research, SpectrumX, the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) Spectrum Innovation Center, routinely supports seed projects. NSF SpectrumX seed projects are small-to-moderate projects […]

In January 2024, the National Radio Science Meeting celebrated its 50th anniversary. Twelve members of the SpectrumX, the National Science Foundation Spectrum Innovation Center, including two of the center’s students, were in attendance to further national conversations about radio science, telecommunications and electrical engineering. The meeting, hosted by the U.S. National Committee (USNC) of the International Union of Radio Science (URSI) and the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine, took place from January 9-12, and resulted in the discussion of 12 research papers co-authored by SpectrumX members.

The first NSF SpectrumX flagship project focuses on developing a combination of tools, infrastructure, and team capabilities to enable the execution of a series of increasingly complex flagship project experiments. […]
