High-frequency wireless
Description
The number of applications of radio technology is steadily increasing, both in wireless transmission and telecommunication systems, as well as in wireless sensor networks and adjacent areas such as imaging systems and radio astronomy. In most of these systems, development and research is driven by the demand for higher bandwidths, both for higher accuracies and higher data rates. To this end, high-frequency technology in the mm and sub-mm bands is increasingly being used.
This evening meeting KIVI NIRIA Department of Telecommunications i.c.w. URSI and the NERG will focus on the latest development in the field of this high-frequency wireless technology, especially in the mm and sub-mm bands. This will include applications in both high data rate communication and radio astronomy. We would like to invite you to this lecture evening.
