The Centre for Development of Telematics (C-DOT) has partnered with IIT Mandi and IIT Jammu to develop a Wideband Spectrum-Sensor ASIC Chip. This initiative aims to enhance spectrum utilization and improve broadband access, particularly in rural areas. The project is part of the Telecom Technology Development Fund (TTDF) under the Atmanirbhar Bharat and Make-in-India programs. It focuses on designing hardware-friendly algorithms for efficient spectrum sensing, targeting underutilized bands beyond 2 GHz, and developing a cognitive radio module for the 6 GHz satellite band, thereby advancing India’s telecommunications technology.
