TU Delft EMI Lab offers expertise in AI-native digital front-end techniques for energy-efficient 6G front-end modules. We contribute neural digital predistortion (DPD), PA/FEM behavioural modelling, adaptive RF impairment compensation, low-complexity AI implementation, and measurement-validated benchmarking for wideband RF systems.
Our group has developed OpenDPD (https://github.com/Lab-EMI/OpenDPD), an open-source end-to-end learning and benchmarking framework for wideband PA modelling and DPD, together with follow-up work on mixed-precision, temporal-sparsity-aware, TCN/sparse and accelerator-oriented neural DPD. We also bring expertise in hardware-software co-design for edge AI, FPGA/ASIC-oriented implementation, quantisation/sparsity, and energy-efficient recurrent neural network accelerators.
We are interested in joining an industry-led SNS JU 2026 FEM consortium as an academic partner, potentially contributing to or leading a task/work package on AI-assisted digital front-end design, energy-efficient DPD, adaptive FEM control, hardware-aware implementation, and measurement validation for FR3/wideband 6G scenarios. We are particularly interested in collaboration with partners providing FEM/PA/array/packaging test vehicles, RF measurement infrastructure, system requirements, and industrialisation pathways.
Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) is a leading technical university in the Netherlands. The Lab of Efficient Machine Intelligence (EMI Lab) in the Department of Microelectronics develops hardware-software co-design methods for energy-efficient AI and RF/mixed-signal systems. The group works on neural DPD, AI-assisted RF and mixed-signal correction, edge AI accelerators, FPGA/ASIC-oriented implementation, and measurement-driven benchmarking. The lab is led by Dr. Chang Gao in the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, and Computer Science.
