How large-area electronics can be adapted to create a gigahertz phased-array antenna. The potential advantages of this approach versus discrete components. The test arrangement used and some test ...

Swarms of pico-satellites could work together as a single large antenna for direct-to-smartphone communications, as reported by researchers from Japan. Instead of relying on a single large satellite ...

Space.com – Last August, Artemis Innovation Management Solutions was selected for a NASA NIAC award to dive into the details of what Mankins labels “the first practical solar-power satellite concept.” ...

Optical phased arrays (OPAs) and beam steering technologies represent a transformative approach in photonic systems, offering rapid and reliable control of light propagation without reliance on ...

The creation of phased arrays in the optical domain has been an active area of research for some time, as it is motivated by the need to improve applications such as optical beam steering and imaging.

Making the world safer for car drivers, passengers and pedestrians is the ultimate goal of automotive safety systems and self-driving cars. To get there, electrical engineers from the University of ...

This work proposes an innovative system in which the elements of a phased-array antenna are distributed among thousands of extremely small satellites, avoiding the costs and risks associated with ...
