Center for Wireless Technology Eindhoven

We are creating a coherent, integrated approach to wireless systems, from the propagation of radio waves up to and including optical and wireless access networks. Our goal is to push boundaries and explore new applications of wireless technology.

Multidisciplinary, application-oriented research into wireless technologies

The Center for Wireless Technology (CWTe) is a collaboration of six research groups of the Electrical Engineering department of Eindhoven University of Technology (果冻传媒): Electromagnetics (EM), Integrated Circuits (IC), Signal Processing Systems (SPS), Electronic Systems (ES), Electro-optical Communication (ECO) and Photonic Integration (PhI). Within our two themes, Communications and Sensing, respectively, we focus our research in programme lines.

LiT: Luchtvaart in Transitie / Aviation in Transition

For sustainable aviation, conventional drivelines must be replaced by (hybrid) electric drivelines (including hydrogen propulsion). New electrical cable systems are necessary to distribute high powers safely and with the lowest possible weight increase between components of these (hybrid) electric drivelines through the aircraft. At the same time, sustainability requires faster maintenance and control during and after flight via collecting large amount of sensor data across the planes at all times. With thousands of new sensors expected to equip the new planes, data networks start significantly contributing to the carbon footprint per flight hour. TUE works on wireless solutions that satisfy the extreme reliability requirements of flight control applications as a potential solution to the cabling weight problem. This requires new knowledge, technologies and products that are being developed in this project. This project involves collaboration between Dutch companies, knowledge institutions and universities.

ADAPTOR: Autonomous Distribution Architecture on Progressing Topologies and Optimization of Resource

Computing resources available at or nearby a Cyber-physical system have much slower upgrade cycles than the algorithms they serve. This makes maintenance very expensive as physical access by experts becomes necessary for upgrades or complete replacements. ADAPTOR extends the autonomy of these systems by building an intelligent fog/edge solution able to aggregate all resources of interconnected devices into a single distributed pool and assign tasks to it. At the core of the solution is an adaptive distributed scheduler of tasks to resources able to detect emerging patterns and serve unforeseen applications, hardware performance and usage patterns. The distributed scheduler tries to accurately predict the availability of resources at the moment of resource commissioning to maximize resource utilization and task throughput. Both our diverse use cases, electron-microscopy and space-based radio telescope swarms, bring challenges on time-sensitivity, tight resource constraints and scalability.

CWTe lab facilities

The Center for Wireless Technology Eindhoven (CWTe) labs combine state-of-the-art facilities with expertise in various disciplines to study and improve wireless systems and antennas. Following the CWTe's aim to bring together research groups working on wireless systems, the lab facilities are tightly connected to one another. This allows a seamless transition from component and sub-system testing to full-system measurements, including over-the-air interfaces, non-linear characterization, photonics, and measurements with modulated signals. Our approach of combining state-of-the-art commercial equipment with in-house developed facilities gives us unique capabilities well into the (sub-)THz range.
