RF, 5G and Radar Laboratories
Studying and Developing Radio Frequency Techniques with 5G, Communication, Radar, Remote Sensing and Microphysics Applications
Our Research
We conduct end-to-end studies on advanced RF and communications systems development in many different engineering fields including remote sensing, signal processing, full-scale system design, and more.
Opportunities for
Students
We are looking for undergraduate and graduate students in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or computer science to help with the design, development, implementation, and practical application of radar and communications systems.
Projects
We conduct a field campaigns and deploy weather radars and communications systems and networks across the nation. We collect and analyze data of weather events – including heavy storms, tornadoes, and other severe atmospheric phenomenon – to enable early storm detection and initiate quicker safety warnings to the public.
The Lab
Welcome to the Radar and Communications Lab at Colorado State University. The lab is directed by University Distinguished Professor V. Chandrasekar. It is located at the CSU Main Campus in Fort Collins, Colorado.
Real World Impact
We lead research on advanced radar development for earth/space remote sensing and aviation applications and earth/space propagation experiments and emerging systems, including the development of dual polarization radar technologies, signal processing radar networking, and space borne radar remote sensing.
Our work has laid the foundation for pervasive technologies that are protecting lives and improving weather forecasting all over the world, from small satellites that peer inside hurricanes to radar networks that detect tornadoes earlier and help scientists understand the most extreme weather on earth.
