High bandwidth means smart signal timing; spiral waveguides are here to help

Using 3-D stacks of reflectors on microchips could triple data rates of wireless links to help speed development of 6G communications, a new study finds. Most current wireless communications technology, such as 5G phones, operate at frequencies below 6 gigahertz. For greater data rates, researchers are striving to develop 6G communications that use frequencies above 20 GHz for data rates 100 times great as 5G. However, at 6G‘s anticipated higher frequencies, transmissions also experience greater attenuation and losses from the environment. Read the full article here: 6G Reflector Chip Tech... Read more
