RIA Resilience call reinforcing Europe's strength in 6G radio communication systems

Funds research and testing of front-end-module microelectronics for future 6G radio systems.

This is a single-stage Research and Innovation Action run by the Chips Joint Undertaking, and the whole EUR 20,000,000 topic budget is expected to fund a single large consortium rather than being split across several grants. Work builds on core technologies and IP blocks already in progress across computing, RF, power generation and beam-forming, using semiconductor technology that already has cha…

This topic funds design, specification, implementation and testing of the key microelectronic building blocks of an FR3 front-end module (FEM) for 6G radio systems, aimed at the ITU IMT 2030 targets for data rate and spectral efficiency. It wants work on large-array integration, broadband RF transceivers, full-duplex uplink extension and integrated sensing-and-communication functionality, building toward a base-die and packaged FEM system.
