High frequency radio waves can wirelessly carry the vast amount of data demanded by emerging technology like virtual reality, but as engineers push into the upper reaches of the radio spectrum, they are hitting walls. […]
Cornell University researchers have developed a low-power microchip they call a “microwave brain,” the first processor to compute on both ultrafast data signals and wireless communication signals by harnessing the physics of microwaves.This post was […]
AOL’s dial-up internet is finally taking its last bow.This post was originally published on this site.
With digital devices powering every aspect of life and business, telecommunications providers are going neck and neck to provide faster internet speeds at scale―using fiber technology as a linchpin.This post was originally published on this […]
Wireless power transfer (WPT) systems transmit electrical energy from a power source to a load without physical connectors or wires, using electromagnetic fields. This idea goes as far back as the 1890s, when Nikola Tesla […]
Researchers at EPFL and Harvard University have engineered a chip that can convert between electromagnetic pulses in the terahertz and optical ranges on the same device. Their integrated design could enable the development of devices […]
Smartphones must stay connected to mobile networks at all times to function properly. The core component that enables this constant connectivity is the communication modem (baseband) inside the device. KAIST researchers, using their self-developed testing […]
Researchers from IMDEA Networks, in collaboration with Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, IMDEA Software Institute, and the University of Calgary, have conducted the first large-scale study—”Your Signal, Their Data: An Empirical Privacy Analysis of Wireless-scanning […]
Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) is expanding its antenna measurement capabilities with a state-of-the-art spherical near-field antenna range. The 1,260-square-foot indoor range, lined with radio frequency and microwave foam absorbers, is equipped to accurately sample the […]
Researchers from MIT and elsewhere have designed a novel transmitter chip that significantly improves the energy efficiency of wireless communications, which could boost the range and battery life of a connected device.This post was originally […]
