Project RHEIN

Integrated RF MMIC Devices with RISC-V Core for High Energy Efficiency Communication Applications and Heterogeneous Integration.

Technical description

The project develops a RISC-V control subsystem in FPGA specialised in managing RF block parameters for M2M communications in the millimetre band (30-300 GHz). Designed for IoT environments, Industry 4.0, and 5G/6G networks, the system is modular, reconfigurable, and ready for heterogeneous integration in SiP configuration.

Public description: The project investigates how to precisely control and reduce energy consumption of the radio frequency chips that enable the communications of the future: 5G, 6G, and industrial IoT. The result is a reprogrammable system that can adapt to different environments and prepare for integration into next-generation chips.
