The Smart and Novel Radios Research Unit SMARAD specialises in research on world-class RF, microwave and millimetre wave and datacommunications signal processing. Areas of special interest include RF techniques for wireless datacommunications, radio channel modelling and measurement, new and smart materials and structures, smart (adaptive) antennas, receiver structures and architectures and the signal processing algorithms they require. The results will have practical application especially in future wireless communication systems. What is meant by "smart" antennas or materials is their adaptability to RF signals or fields. In antenna measurement SMARAD is working on a novel method based on a radio hologram, which has already been successfully applied in testing the Odin satellite radio telescope.
