Antenna design, rebuilt on real physics + AI.

Pinching Antenna Systems

Reconfigurable radiation along low-loss dielectric waveguides. Our flagship research line, exploring on-demand line-of-sight wireless coverage for indoor and immersive environments.

AI Control Plane

Real-time decision-making for wireless physical-layer reconfiguration. Neural agents that orchestrate beams, links, and apertures at sub-millisecond latency.

Available as Service

Generative RF Design

Neural topology search for antennas, waveguides, and metasurfaces. We use diffusion models and neural architecture search to design RF structures beyond human intuition.

Integrated Sensing & Communication

One aperture, two functions. Antennas that simultaneously connect and perceive—a foundational primitive for 6G.

Long-horizon research

05.

AirComp & Wireless AI Compute

Treating the wireless channel itself as a computing substrate. We explore over-the-air computation for distributed AI inference at the edge of 6G networks.

03 / Lab

How the YAF lab works.

The YAF effort runs a lean wireless lab in Hangzhou — in-house prototyping, EM simulation, open hardware, and university partnerships.

Simulation & Modeling

Full-wave EM simulation, channel modeling, and RF system co-design.

Open Hardware Prototyping

SDR-based over-the-air experimentation and rapid waveguide fabrication.

Distributed · PartnersExplore capability

Partner Lab Network

Collaborative access to mmWave testbeds and anechoic chambers through university partnerships in China, the UK, and the US.

Hangzhou · CloudExplore capability

AI Compute Stack

GPU-accelerated training and simulation pipelines for RF neural models.

Inside the Lab

What it actually looks like.

Real benches, real measurements, real fabrication. The lab behind the work — not a stock photo set.

RF Measurement Bench
Vector network analyzer + spectrum analyzer + calibration kits — daily setup for antenna characterization.
Waveguide Prototype
Dielectric waveguide antenna sample in a precision test fixture, ready for S-parameter sweeps.
Anechoic Chamber
Pyramidal absorber foam isolates the antenna under test from the rest of the world.
Engineering Workspace
Where simulation, fabrication, and measurement converge — the heart of the lab.

04 / Applications

Where antenna design lands.
