The antenna could help future 6G networks deliver ultra-fast data transfer with high reliability
Researchers from the University of Glasgow have developed an innovative wireless communications antenna which they say could pave the way for future 6G networks.
The antenna combines the unique properties of metamaterials with sophisticated signal processing to deliver a new peak of performance, the university said in a release.
The researchers recently showcased the development of a prototype digitally coded dynamic metasurface antenna, or DMA, controlled through high-speed field-programmable gate array (FPGA).
They claimed that their DMA is the first in the world designed and demonstrated its use in operations in the 60 GHz mmWave band, a portion of which is reserved for use in industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) applications.
