Georgia Tech has developed a general-purpose MMIC (monolithic microwave IC) for the direct filtering and processing of microwave and millimeter-wave signals. The aim is to reduce radio power consumption by swapping some digital signal processing elements for reconfigurable analogue processing blocks. “High-speed digitisation blocks targeting microwave frequencies are expensive and consume a lot of power,” ...
