Smartphones have a scaling problem. Specifically, the radio-frequency (RF) filters that every phone—and every wireless device in general—uses to extract information from isolated wireless signals are too big, too flat, and too numerous. And without these filters, wireless communications simply wouldn’t work at all.“They are literally the entire backbone of wireless systems,” says Roozbeh Tabrizian, a researcher at the University of Florida in Gainesville.So Tabrizian and other researchers at the University of Florida have now developed an alternative three-dimensional RF filter that can save space in smartphones and IoT devices. If these 3D filters one day replace bulky stacks of 2D filters, it would leave more room for other components, such as batteries. They could also make it easier to push wireless communications into terahertz frequencies, an important spectrum range being researched for 6G cellular technologies.“Very soon, we’ll have trillions of devices connected […]

Anritsu Company introduces the 5G New Radio Licensed 6 GHz Band Measurement MX800010A-014 software that extends the measurement capability of its Radio Communication Test Station MT8000A.

Starlink sent and received texts over a 4G/LTE connection between mobile phones via its latest generation of satellites, called v2mini, for the first time this month, following similar projects from Amazon, Apple, AST SpaceMobile, Huawei, and Lynk Global. Starlink—the satellite constellation operated by SpaceX—will offer text messaging to subscribers of at least eight different mobile-network operators around the world and may offer voice and data coverage without the need for the ground terminals its customers now use in “coming years,” Starlink’s U.S. partner T-Mobile said in a statement.The Starlink achievement is the latest example of how satellites and cellular base stations are converging. A handful of companies are exploiting cheaper satellite fabrication and launch costs, as well as adapting existing technologies such as beamforming, to bridge the several hundred kilometers between mobile phones and orbiting satellites. Among the many new wrinkles those companies […]
