Circuits for signals at 140 GHz makes

world record
Chicago Chronicle (ANI) Wednesday 22nd October, 2014
A Swedish research team have made a world record by creating a new type of microwave
circuit for fewer cords, smaller antennas and quicker video transmission.
Every time we watch a film clip on our phone or tablet, an entire chain of advanced
technology is involved. In order for the film to start playing in an even sequence when
we press the play button, the data must reach us quickly via a long series of devices,
antennas and receivers. With an increasing number of users, higher demands on image
quality and more wireless systems, producing methods for transmitting the enormous
amounts of data through the air with the right speed poses a major challenge.
Now, researchers from Chalmers University of Technology and Ericsson have designed
circuits that can transmit and receive signals that are strong enough at higher
frequencies.
Herbert Zirath, a professor in high speed electronics at Chalmers, said that they have
designed circuits for signals at 140 Gigahertz, where they have a large bandwidth. In
laboratory testing, they have achieved a transmission rate of 40 Gigabit data per second,
which was twice as fast as the previous world record at a comparable frequency.
As a result of the record, the researchers have been asked to talk about their results
together with a few other researchers under the heading "Breaking News" on Wednesday
at the Compound Semiconductor Integrated Circuits Symposium conference in San Diego.
Herbert Zirath said that semiconductor materials development has enabled manufacture
of circuits that could transmit high frequency signals with sufficiently high power. The
circuits, which are made of the semiconductor material indium phosphide, are so small
that a microscope is needed to distinguish the details. (ANI)
