Double Wi-Fi speed tech |
Researchers, led by an Indian-origin engineer in US, have developed a novel technology that can double Wi-Fi speeds with a single antenna, a breakthrough that could revolutionise the field of telecommunications. This is the first time researchers from Columbia University School of Engineering and Applied Science have integrated a non-reciprocal circulator and a full-duplex radio on a nanoscale silicon chip. The team, led by Associate Professor Harish Krishnaswamy, developed the technology that needs only one antenna, thus enabling an even smaller overall system. Full-duplex communications, where the transmitter and the receiver operate at the same time and at the same frequency, has become a critical research area and now it has shown that WiFi capacity can be doubled on a nanoscale silicon chip with a single antenna. This has enormous implications for devices like smartphones and tablets.
