A new microchip could double the amount of data one can transmit and receive wirelessly by enabling simultaneous transmission and reception on the same radio frequency, engineers at Columbia University say.
This advance could not only improve portables and WiFi networks, "but this could also ease up the frequency spectrum as well," says Harish Krishnaswamy, an assistant professor of electrical engineering at Columbia University, in New York City.
