New Delhi, aug 19
LG Electronics on Thursday said it has successfully demonstrated 6G data transmission using the terahertz spectrum as the South Korean tech giant tries to move ahead in the next-generation communication technology.LG succeeded in sending 6G terahertz wireless communication signals 100 meters in an outdoor environment in collaboration with Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, Europe’s leading application-oriented research organisation, in Berlin last week.LG said it developed a new power amplifier with Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft in order to deliver stable communication signals at the 6G terahertz spectrum.The ultrawide band spectrum has a short frequency coverage range, while power losses in antenna transmitting and receiving processes are severe, demanding enhanced power amplifiers to solve such problems, reports Yonhap news agency.LG said its new amplifier can deliver a maximum output signal of 15 decibel-milliwatts for stable communication in the 155-175 gigahertz band.LG added it also developed adaptive beamforming and high-gain antenna switching technologies for the 6G terahertz wireless communication demonstration.LG expects 6G communication to be commercialised in 2029, with talks for standardisation beginning in 2025.
