Scotland Firm Announces World’s Smallest Smart Antenna
With assistance from the University of Edinburgh in Scotland, antenna company Sofant Technologies has developed a new miniature smart antenna technology. The antenna is equipped with a steerable beam that locks onto the strongest signal available in a given area, instead of using the more traditional approach of seeking signals in all directions. According to the CEO of Sofant … [Read more...]
European Drought-Monitoring Satellite Encounters Radio Interference from Earth
In November 2009, the European Space Agency (ESA) launched its first-ever Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) satellite to measure global soil-moisture levels. The satellite’s radiometer surveys 50 x 50 kilometers areas, using the detection of microwave emissions from land and water to construct global maps of moisture and ocean salinity. Scientists planned to use the data … [Read more...]
LED-Wireless Optical Networks Eliminate Electromagnetic Interference in Cars
Scientists at the University of Warwick, England are exploring the use of optical wireless in private vehicles. Currently used in aviation, optical wireless may soon be used to in cars to communicate between parts of a car’s engine compartment, eliminating the need for copper wiring. Implementing LED-wireless optical networks in vehicles would significantly reduce the weight … [Read more...]
