Import substitution in action: microchips for wireless communication and navigation are being created at SevSU

Scientists and students of SevSU, together with a Russian IT company, are creating innovative solutions in electronics

At the Sevastopol State University (SevSU), work has begun on creating microchips for wireless communication, navigation systems, and radar. The project is being implemented by experienced young scientists in collaboration with a Russian IT company. The first prototypes are planned to be tested in 2026.

I am developing an input stage that amplifies the input signal of the transceiver to the required level, while preventing the noise threshold from being exceeded.

The area of the developed electronic device will be only four square centimeters. Engineers will work on the topology — the placement of elements on the chip — as soon as they complete the design of the chip system. After that, a pilot batch of equipment will be created.

Scientists and students of SevSU are working on the analog part. Their partners from the IT company are working on the digital aspects. The university has all the necessary resources for designing integrated circuits, including technologies, software, and testing equipment. The work is being carried out as part of the import substitution of foreign microchips.

Usually, the process of creating microchips takes about three years, but Sevastopol scientists are optimistic. They plan to complete the first pilot batch and conduct initial tests within a year. The main
