Aperture-tuning antenna keeps 5G signals strong across wider frequencies

Researchers developed a compact aperture-adjustable antenna that maintains strong performance across the 57–71 GHz 5G band and improves signal strength by up to 62.2% at both lower and upper-band-edge frequencies. The system achieves data transmission speeds of up to 56 Gb/s, supporting future Beyond 5G and 6G applications.

Carrier-assisted differential detection

Researchers developed a novel receiver scheme for detecting complex-valued double sideband signals with field recovery, called carrier-assisted differential detection (CADD). CADD doubles the electrical spectral efficiency compared to conventional carrier-less differential detection, and is insensitive to chromatic dispersion.

In the firefly's flash, seeking new insights on evolution

Researchers analyzed firefly flash signals to understand how new mating signals arise through evolution. They found variations in luciferase and opsin genes didn't correlate with signal color changes, suggesting natural selection may be acting on unknown DNA sequences.
