The experiment is the work of LG and the German Fraunhofer Institute
Korean company LG Electronics demonstrates data transmission over 100 meters outdoors using 6G wireless terahertz technology. The experiment was carried out jointly with the Fraunhofer Society, the largest scientific community for applied research in Europe, and the data were sent and traced between the Fraunhofer Institute Heinrich Hertz (HHI) and the Berlin Institute of Technology in Germany, technews.bg reports.
Given that 6G THz has a short range and loses transmission power over long distances, one of the main challenges for the evolution of this technology is to find a solution to increase the power and ensure more stable ultra-wideband oscillations.
The strength of the physical amplifier, developed by LG, HHI and the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Solid State Physics (IAF), is the basis for the success of the test. The amplifier has the capacity to generate a stable signal up to 15 dBm in the frequency range from 155 to 17 GHz.
In addition, LG has successfully demonstrated adaptive beamforming technology, which changes the direction of the signal depending on the channel and the position of the receiver. In addition, the high gain antenna switching function combines signals from several amplifiers, transmitting them to specific antennas.
With global standardization and commercialization scheduled for 2025 over the next four years, 6G networks will support faster wireless exchange, communication speeds with minimal latency and high reliability, LG notes.
6G will be a key component of the new “Ambient Internet of Everything” technology, which aims to improve both the business environment and the living environment by adapting and customizing the content to the needs of the respective consumer.
