ETU “LETI” scientists have developed a controlled antenna prototype for fifth generation (5G) communication networks. It allows you to tune the radio signal in the direction of users to ensure high quality communication even if they are out of network coverage.
5G is a new communication standard developed worldwide to meet the growing need for data transmission over wireless systems. To successfully implement 5G, you need to have cost-effective components that can operate at different frequencies.
The antenna prototype consists of three main elements. It can create multiple communication beams and provide better coverage and communication quality. The beam direction is controlled by semiconductor diodes that change their state depending on the control signal.
Scientists have already started experiments using this “smart” antenna. The project is funded by a grant and is part of the work to build components for 5G networks. Earlier, they developed an inexpensive antenna for communication in the Arctic regions of Russia.
