Full-Duplex Chip Will Create a Wireless Bandwidth Bonanza
Today’s radio technology has almost nothing in common with its counterpart from a century ago. Countless advances have produced gear that is fantastically smaller, more reliable, and more efficient in its use of power and bandwidth. And yet, one enormous limitation remains from long ago: Radios still can’t transmit and receive on the same frequency at the same time.
Full duplex capability would be a great advance for wireless. It would in one fell swoop double a network’s capacity. At a time when unused radio-frequency spectrum has already been mined to near extinction and demands for data are increasing—and with emerging 5G networks targeting a 1,000-fold increase in data flows—full-duplex wireless has become a holy grail in the search for a way to ease the spectrum crunch.
5G 3-D Millimeter-Wave Statistical Channel Model for 5G Wireless System Design
A 3-D statistical channel impulse response (IR) model for urban line of sight (LOS) and non-LOS channels, developed from 28- and 73-GHz ultrawideband propagation measurements, faithfully reproduces realistic IRs of measured urban channels for air interface design of mmWave transceivers, filters, and antenna arrays.

5G Distance-Aware Bandwidth-Adaptive THz Systems
This distance-aware bandwidth-adaptive resource allocation scheme uses the terahertz spectrum more efficiently, offering 10 Gb/s at 4 m in the multipath channel, 100 Gb/s is achieved up to 21 m in line-of-sight transmission, and up to thirteen simultaneous 100 Gb/s links.
MEETINGS 1 August Deadline for 2016 MMS Papers
16th Mediterranean Microwave Symposium (MMS2016):
The MMS2016 paper submission deadline has been extended to 1 August 2016. Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings and, upon paying the registration fees and presenting the paper, will be submitted for inclusion in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. Submissions will be evaluated based on novelty, significance of the work, technical content, and interest to the audience.
SPECTROSCOPY Measuring Gas Temperature in Highly Particle Laden Flow by THz Spectroscopy
Two terahertz (THz) spectroscopy methods for measuring gas temperature: using the area ratio of two water vapor absorbance peaks, and using the relative time delay of the THz signal. Both methods apply where high particle loading would block traditional laser signals.
SOCIETY Microwave Engineering, from the Designer’s Perspective
In May, the IEEE MTT-S American International University-Bangladesh (AIUB) Student Branch Chapter and IEEE Young Professionals Bangladesh collaborated to host a seminar on Microwave Engineering, making it possible for students and prospective researchers to interact with the leaders in the field.
