Researchers in Australia and Japan have developed a signal mixer that enhances the capacity of terahertz communications. The mixer, called a polarization multiplexer, merges two polarized signals of the same frequency into a single beam and operates at frequencies being explored for future 6G networks. The all-silicon integrated device uses novel features that deal with some of the challenges of communicating in the terahertz (THz) spectrum, such as limited power and transmission range. The researchers report transmitting aggregated data rates of up to 155 and 190 gigabits per second (with the help of two common error correction methods). The reported transmission speed represents an enormous increase over the average 1 Gbps bandwidths for 5G networks in operation today. Because it enables two data streams to be transmitted simultaneously, the new multiplexer effectively doubles any given signal’s transmission capacity. The device is also exceptionally flexible for a range of […]

This article is part of our exclusive IEEE Journal Watch series in partnership with IEEE Xplore.In March of 2020, a team of U.S. Air Force pilots took to sunny skies over California to conduct a unique experiment, exploring a possible countermeasure if the plane’s GPS system, which determines the plane’s position so that it can be transmitted to ground controllers, were suddenly cut off. On board the plane, a completely novel backup navigation system that utilized cellphone signals was put to the test. The experiment proved to be a huge success, pointing to a new and much-needed potential backup for GPS.Amazingly, the novel navigation system could track the plane for more than a hundred kilometers, and at various altitudes, with precision in the single-digit meters. The results are described in a study published 20 June in IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems.It’s hard to imagine life without global navigation satellite systems (GNSSs), including GPS. But […]

India’s government is set to push handset makers, including Apple and Samsung, to expedite software upgrades on their phones to make them compatible with local 5G airwaves in the country — just days after kicking off the next-generation cellular network by the nation’s two leading telcos with all pomp and show.

Ford is working on a mobile app designed to alert drivers to pedestrians and bicyclists nearby. The app, scheduled to debut at the Intelligent Transportation Society of America’s World Congress in Los Angeles this week, uses Bluetooth Low Energy to send a location alert from a pedestrian or cyclist’s smartphone to passing Ford vehicles equipped with © 2024 TechCrunch.
