As 5G wireless technology continues to gain a foothold in the U.S. and worldwide, a top selling point for consumers is the uber-fast download speeds to smartphones that eventually could rival those of landline cable or fiber optic networks. Achieving those speeds, however, requires handling myriad airwave frequencies and radio channels to deliver better data […]

In our information society, the synthesis, distribution, and processing of radio and microwave signals are ubiquitous in wireless networks, telecommunications, and radars. The current tendency is to use carriers in higher frequency bands, especially with looming bandwidth bottlenecks due to demands for e.g. 5G and the “Internet of Things.” “Microwave photonics,” a combination of microwave

ITHACA, N.Y. – Cornell University researchers who build nanoscale electronics have developed microsensors so tiny, they can fit 30,000 on one side of a penny. They are equipped with an integrated circuit, solar cells and light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that enable them to harness light for power and communication. And because they are mass fabricated, with

The approach, reported in a recent paper in Nanophotonics, enables coherent light source design on the scale not only

LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The IMS2020 and Microwave Week transitioned to a virtual event, officially taking place from August 4 – 6, 2020. The event will continue with the theme of ‘Connectivity Matters’—built on five pillars that link the world: 5G & 6G networks, aerospace and defense programs, autonomous vehicles, the digital economy, and ensuring the connection

Researchers have developed some of the tiniest microsensors to date. Barely visible to the human eye, they can be used for next-generation electronic devices and microprocessors. A team at Cornell University has developed the nanoscale sensors, which include an integrated circuit, solar cell, and light-emitting diodes (LEDs) all in a device of which 30,000 can
