Millimeter wave (mmWave) massive MIMO can achieve orders of magnitude increase in spectral and energy efficiency, and it usually exploits the hybrid analog and digital precoding to overcome the serious signal attenuation induced by mmWave…

Neutral hydrogen (HI) intensity mapping (IM) surveys are considered a promising tool for investigating the expansion history of the Universe. In this work, we explore the potential of MeerKAT HI IM observations in interferometer mode to…

The unconventionally large aperture of extremely large-scale multiple-input multiple-output (XL-MIMO) arrays, in conjunction with the wider bandwidths in the upper-6 GHz (U6G) frequency bands, will very likely lead to non-negligible beam…

This thesis considers channel estimation and multiuser (MU) data transmission for massive MIMO systems with fully digital/hybrid structures in mmWave channels. It contains three main contributions. In this thesis, we first propose a…

MeerKAT's large number of antennas, spanning 8 km with a densely packed 1 km core, create a powerful instrument for wide-area surveys, with high sensitivity over a wide range of angular scales. The MeerKAT Galaxy Cluster Legacy Survey…

We have conducted observations of the nearby (11.46 ly) star system Procyon, using MeerKAT's UHF (544-1087 MHz) receivers. We produce full-Stokes time and frequency integrated continuum images, as well as total intensity time series imaging…

Multi-colour light-emitting diode (LED) based visible light communication (VLC) benefits from wavelength diversity while providing indoor illumination. Colour shift keying (CSK) is a well-researched IEEE standardised multi-colour VLC…

A major source of difficulty when operating with large arrays at mmWave frequencies is to estimate the wideband channel, since the use of hybrid architectures acts as a compression stage for the received signal. Moreover, the channel has to…

True-time-delay (TTD) lines are recently applied inside Terahertz (THz) hybrid-precoding transceiver to acquire high beamforming gain against beam squint effect. However, beam tracking turns into a challenging puzzle where enormous…

Massive multiple-input--multiple-output (MIMO) systems can suffer from coherent intercell interference due to the phenomenon of pilot contamination. This paper investigates a two-layer decoding method that mitigates both coherent and…

By their very nature, Spin Waves (SWs) with different frequencies can propagate through the same waveguide without affecting each other, while only interfering with their own species. Therefore, more SW encoded data sets can coexist,…

Resistive random-access memory (ReRAM) is a promising candidate for the next generation non-volatile memory technology due to its simple read/write operations and high storage density. However, its crossbar array structure causes a severe…

We consider linear precoding and decoding in the downlink of a multiuser multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) system, wherein each user may receive more than one data stream. We propose several mean squared error (MSE) based criteria for…

One of the key challenges in current Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) computers is to control a quantum system with high-fidelity quantum gates. There are many reasons a quantum gate can go wrong -- for superconducting transmon…

Millimeter wave (mmWave) and sub-THz communications, foreseen for sixth generation (6G), suffer from high propagation losses which affect the network coverage. To address this point, smart entities such as network-controlled repeaters…

Discrete multi-tone transmission (DMT) is a promising candidate for future 400G data center interconnects. Eight channels, each carrying 56 Gb/s of data can be combined in a 50-GHz channel grid to form a 400 Gb/s superchannel. For a fully…

A new method of distortion mitigation for multitarget interferometric angular velocity estimation in millimeter-wave radar is presented. In general, when multiple targets are present, the response of a correlation interferometer is…

The MeerKAT telescope represents an outstanding opportunity for radio pulsar timing science with its unique combination of a large collecting area and aperture efficiency (effective area $\sim$7500 m$^2$), system temperature ($T<20$K), high…

We consider the rates achievable by a user in a multibeam satellite system for unicast applications, and propose alternatives to the conventional single-user symbol-by-symbol detection applied at user terminals. Single-user detection is…
