ACE - Antenna Centre of Excellence 

The ACE Network is a Network of excellence in the European 6th framework IST. It will structure the fragmented European antenna R&D, reduce duplications and boost excellence and competitiveness in key ... areas. ACE deals with the antenna function of radio systems. This includes the electromagnetic interface from conductors to free space radiated waves, the beam-forming functions, whether they are analogue or digital, and adaptive "smart" systems to optimize performance. The project has a duration of four years, with start 1 January 2004. It has 51 participants from 17 European countries. 323 researchers and 130 PhD students are involved. The ACE total budget is 13.534.000 €, with EC Contribution up to 10.500.000 €. The network is organized in five horizontal activities: Coordination with Wireless Applications Antenna software initiatives Antenna measurements techniques Training and education Dissemination and knowledge transfer management and in five vertical, application-oriented activit   [More...] [Less...]

Super 3G phones hit 200Mbps in Japan 

Spectacular 200Mbps internet connections are all but guaranteed to come to mobile phone handsets in the near future. That's after Japan's NTT DoCoMo announced a new chip capable of the computation needed, ... yet small enough to fit in a phone. The so-called Super 3G technology relies on MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) technology to understand multiplexed OFDM (orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) data signals and uses four antennas working together. Economical performer Crucially, the new chip keeps power consumption low - under 0.1W - while performing the complex calculations needed to make sense of the multiplexed signal. That's not all, however - not content with broadband speeds on its phones, DoCoMo also announced that it is pressing ahead with its 4G plans. These include establishing international standards for the new technologies involved.   [More...] [Less...]
