Engineers at Ericsson are experimenting with the concept of embedding antennae within window glass, which could help cell towers better handle multiple simultaneous connections from a single location. In an unofficial interview with a Bloomberg Businessweek correspondent at CTIA Wireless in late May, Mats Guldbrand of Ericsson explained that the new glass could help in … [Read more...]
London Professor Wins AF Harvey Engineering Research Prize for Bistatic Radar Research
Professor Hugh Griffiths of University College London (UCL) has been awarded the A. F. Harvey Engineering Research Prize from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) for his contributions to radar research. “I’m absolutely thrilled. It is an enormous honor to be recognized by one’s peers in this way,” Griffiths said. Griffiths received £300,000 to continue his … [Read more...]
Noise-Removal Technology Could Increase Internet Speed Up to 400Gb/s
Researchers from Bell Laboratories in New Jersey have discovered a method to improve data speeds using twin, mirrored beams of light to strengthen data signal quality over longer distances. Typical fiber optic cables use a single beam of light to transmit information and are limited in power and consequentially, distance. While larger distances require more power to transmit … [Read more...]

Connector manufacturer CONEC has supplemented its IP67-rated RJ45 family of connectors with a dual bayonet in-line connector designed for industrial Ethernet applications requiring fast mating and unmating. “Ideal for harsh applications such as industrial machinery, security and surveillance equipment, test and measurement equipment, and GPS systems and communications . . . … [Read more...]
Concurrent Dual-Radio Technology for Zero Wireless Packet Loss in Industrial WLAN Applications
Industrial networking solutions provider Moxa has announced the AWK-5222 and AWK-6222 series industrial wireless AP/bridge/client devices for zero wireless packet loss in industrial WLAN applications. “To reduce packet loss [due to wireless interference], many advanced wireless technologies provide dual-RF devices with mechanisms to effectively detect interference and … [Read more...]
Printed Technology Captures Electromagnetic Energy for Reuse
Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have developed a method to capture and harness the electromagnetic energy emitted by radio and television transmitters, cell phone networks and satellite communications that could someday lead to self-powering electronic devices. “There is a large amount of electromagnetic energy all around us, but nobody has been able to tap … [Read more...]
Ultra-Low Noise, High PSRR Linear Voltage Regulators
Semiconductor company Texas Instruments has released two high-current, low-dropout (LDO) linear voltage regulators “designed to meet the the requirements of RF and analog circuits in applications such as mobile handsets, tablets, Wi-Fi devices and base stations.” According to the company, the LP5907 linear voltage regulator features output noise of less than 10-uVrms, PSRR of … [Read more...]
Italy’s Mobile Operators to Pay for LTE Interference Solution
The Italian Council of State approved draft proposals earlier this week outlining details regarding steps mobile carriers will have to take to solve interference problems between the new LTE networks in the 800MHz band and digital television. According to the ruling, three of the country’s primary mobile operators—Wind Telecomunicazioni, Vodafone and Telecom Italia—will be … [Read more...]
New Filter Manufacturing Method Could Improve Performance and Range of Cognitive Radio
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Microsystems Technology Laboratory have developed a new method for manufacturing filters for hardware-based cognitive radio applications that could improve performance and enable 14 times as many filters as currently possible to be placed on a single chip. While different proposals for cognitive radio place varying … [Read more...]
Samsung Announces Breakthrough in 5G Mobile Communications
Samsung has announced a significant breakthrough in the development of high-speed 5G mobile communications with the creation of an adaptive array transceiver capable of transmitting data in the millimeter-wave bands at a rate of up to 1.056 Gbit/s and a range of up to 2 km (1.2 miles). Researchers have long believed that millimeter-wave bands offer the broad range of … [Read more...]
