The race to conquer the quantum domain is among the most fiercely competitive in today’s world of technology. One important quantum technology is Quantum key distribution (QKD), that establishes highly secure keys between distant parties by using single photons to transmit each bit of the key. Quantum cryptography is unbreakable …
Read More »Autonomous vehicles (AVs) have received extensive attention in recent years as a rapidly emerging and disruptive technology to improve safety and efficiency of current road transportation systems. Most of the existing and under development AVs rely on local sensors, such as cameras and lidars, to perceive the environment and interact …
Read More »Conventional modem designs can be termed as ‘fixed-function’ modems ‘ because almost all modem functionality in these modems are implemented in silicon resulting in large die sizes and limited flexibility. As the number and complexity of air interfaces increase, so does the challenge involved in planning, designing, manufacturing, testing and …

Wireless electronic systems have been relying on dish antennas to send and receive signals. These systems have been widely used where directivity is important and many of those systems work well at a relatively low cost after years of optimization. These dish antennas having a mechanical arm to rotate the …
Read More »Historically, the evolution of the modem technology has been exclusively focused on purpose-built solutions with a Printed Circuit Board (PCB), CPU, FPGAs, discrete components, and/or an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC); and combined with implementation code targeted for the custom hardware environment to deliver a limited set of capabilities and …
Read More »The information and communication technology industry is today faced with a global challenge: develop new services with improved quality of service (QoS) and at the same time reduce its environmental impact. In addition, the development towards 5G and Beyond (B5G) technologies, the exponential growth in the number of connected objects …

Space is becoming more dynamic than ever with mega-constellations, multi-orbit satellites, and software-defined payloads. The world’s demand for broadband connectivity has created a new generation of high-throughput satellites in geosynchronous Earth orbit (GEO), medium Earth orbit (MEO), and now low Earth orbit (LEO). In the future, 5G networks will …
Read More »Substantially more spectrum bandwidth is available at the Ka band than at the Ku band and other lower frequencies. For example, Ku band allocation is around 2GHz for uplink and 1.3GHz for downlink with actual contiguous bandwidth allocation of less than 0.5GHz per satellite. In comparison, the Ka band SATCOM …
