New World Record for Wireless Data Transmission
German researchers have set a new world record for wireless data transmission. They achieved six gigabits per second, sending the entire contents of a DVD in less than ten seconds using radio waves.
This App Visualizes How Interference Affects Antenna Signals
Engineers at Drexel University developed an app that uses augmented reality to demonstrate antenna performance. The BeamViewer app visualizes electromagnetic signals and demonstrates the difference between a standard antenna and a smart reconfigurable antenna, which adjusts its signals to find the best path.
