Expanding spectrum usage and needs for in-band full duplex transceiver capabilities requires increasing levels of receiver isolation from unwanted emissions. My research focuses on the development of a high-power vector modulator for use as signal taps in an active interference canceller. Creating this device will involve novel techniques for pushing RF device linearity at extreme power levels and wide bandwidths, while maintaining a small form-factor suitable for integration as a drop-in component in existing radio transceivers. Such findings will help further the development of next-generation electronic protection and joint radar-communications technologies. My work will be demonstrated as part of a radio frontend to display its capacity to reject unwanted interference.

SuperUROP is providing me the opportunity to engage in advanced research with resources to help me succeed and prepare me for future endeavors in academia and industry. I have been prepared for this project through my previous research at MIT Lincoln Laboratory and I am excited that I am able to continue to work with them through SuperUROP, where I hope to better understand the formal research process.
