Scientists claim that the new programmable antennas could pave the way for a new generation of 6G devices, smart city-type applications and 3D holograms.The researchers developed a dynamic metasurface antenna (DMA) that can be controlled by a digitally coded miniature processor, technically a high-speed field programmable gate array (FPGA) – a type of reconfigurable circuit integrated on a chip. The matchbox-sized prototype is the world’s first to carry 6G signals in the 60 GHz millimeter wave (mmWave) band, which is reserved for industrial, scientific and medical applications. The findings are detailed in a new study accepted for publication in the…
Investors interested in exploring the final frontier have become more enthusiastic and cautious about European space-tech deals lately. “The hype is colliding with reality,” said David Ford, a partner at Silver Peak, a London-based consulting firm that is active in space-tech deals. Ford said dealmakers have been shifting focus recently. Delivery-focused industrial businesses remain attractive targets, he said, with interest particularly in subsectors such as satellites with intellectual property (IP) and subcomponents such as solar panels, avionics and computers. Meanwhile, low-earth orbit – objects orbiting at an altitude less than about a third of the Earth’s radius – is already…
