A Silicon Base Activates 6G Networks and Allows Fast Wireless Broadband

An international team of researchers has invented a terahertz polarization, a compact ultra-bandwidth (de)multiplexer executed in a 250 mm tiny silicon wafer that could expand the wireless network.

As per reports, Osaka University, The University of Adelaide, and the Osaka Research Institute of Industrial Science and Technology have developed a “polarization multiplexer” to control terahertz waves by traffic control system. It is derived that the introduction of 6G will fulfilled in the near future. 

In addition, Professor Withawat Withayachumnankul from the University of Adelaide stated, “Our proposed polarization multiplexer will allow multiple data streams to be transmitted simultaneously over the same frequency band, effectively doubling the data capacity.”

The researchers employed a deep reactive-ion etching technique and effective medium material to interact with terahertz waves. Then during the testing process, the team detected around 220-330 GHz waves without signal loss. This new device could double up the communication bands within low data. 

Dr. Weijie Gao, a postdoctoral researcher at Osaka University and co-author of the study also adds to the report, “This innovation not only enhances the efficiency of terahertz communication systems but also paves the way for more robust and reliable high-speed wireless networks,”

According to Professor Masayuki Fujita of Osaka University, “We anticipate that within the next one to two years, researchers will begin to explore new applications and refine the technology,”

However, the polarization multiplexer advances the way of video streaming. For example, users can download an exclusive season of their favorite series in seconds. With the introduction of 6G, the world could experience a versatile wireless broadband network.
