Electrical engineering professor Alan Willner and his team worked with orbital angular momentum multiplexing to send data at 32 gigabits per second via radio waves. Building on previous research that twisted light to send data at unheard-of speeds, Willner developed a similar technique with radio waves, reaching high speeds fast enough to transmit more than 10 hour-and-a-half-long HD movies in one second -- 30 times faster than LTE wireless.

A team led by engineers at the University of Southern California has demonstrated a new way to send information via radio waves. By twisting several polarized beams carrying information together into a spiraled beam, the team was able to send up to 32 gigabits per second across 2.5 meters of open air. (View article) |
