Sony and Tokyo
Institute of Technology jointly developed a new semiconductor for thenext-generation wireless transmission applicable to smartphones. It is for the
short-distance high-speed wireless technology that uses the high frequency
range of 60 GHz called millimeter waveband, and can transmit data contained in
a DVD in less than 10 seconds. Because the existing product consumes much
energy, the research group reduced power consumption by simplifying the circuit
design of the semiconductor and increasing the data transfer efficiency. The
new product consumes less than 1 kW and transmits data at 6.3 GB per second.
The next-generation
wireless technology that uses millimeter waveband will eliminate a cable
between devices because huge amount of data can be transferred at high speed. In
addition, the power required to trade the same amount of data will be reduced
to one eighth of the power required by the existing product. In the future, it
will be possible to project high-definition movie data stored in a smartphone on
a large screen wirelessly. The new technology is expected to be translated into
practical applications in several years.
