A novel time-division MIMO technology enables phased-array receivers to operate faster with exceptional area efficiency and low power, as reported by researchers from the Institute of Science Tokyo. The proposed system significantly reduces circuit complexity for 5G and 6G networks, including non-terrestrial nodes, by reusing signal paths through fast switching. It demonstrated a record-setting 38.4 Gbps data rate across eight streams in a 65 nm CMOS integrated circuit.
