MiRACLE is a MSCA Doctoral Networks project funded by the European Union in the call HORIZON-MSCA-2024-PF-01. The MSCA Doctoral Networks program aims to train entrepreneurial, innovative and resilient doctoral candidates, able to face current and future challenges and to convert knowledge and ideas into products and services for economic and social benefit.

In recent years, wireless localization and sensing have gained significant traction in the industry, and the requirements in terms of accuracy and reliability have become tighter and tighter. Project Millimeter scale Repeatable and Absolute Coherent Localization Enablers (MiRACLE) aims to blur the line between wireless localization and metrology by pushing the accuracy of absolute wireless localization systems below the millimeter accuracy while maintaining repeatable performance over environmental changes. This will enhance the efficiency of future manufacturing plants, as well as enable life-saving technologies like telesurgery.

To achieve these ambitious goals, it will exploit coherent information from a combination of all the cellular frequency bands, including the upcoming FR3 band (7GHz-24GHz) present in the 6G roadmap. Due to the recent introduction of FR3, there is a lack of commercial experimental hardware operating in that band. For this reason, the project also aims to provide an open-source experimental setup capable of operating at those frequencies.
