UAB (University of Barcelona) researchers played a key role in developing a telecommunications switch that operates at very high frequencies with lower power consumption than conventional technologies. This technology, which has significant applications in the upcoming 6G mass communication systems, is more energy-efficient than current devices. The findings were recently published in Nature Electronics. The switch, an essential element for managing signals in electronic communication devices, allows an electrical signal to pass in the ON state or blocks it in the OFF state. Currently, the most rapid switches are silicon-based RF silicon-on-insulator MOSFET switches, functioning at frequencies in the tens of gigahertz (GHz). Nevertheless, they are volatile and require a constant power supply to remain in the ON state. To enhance current communication systems and cater to the growing demand for faster communications, which will encompass the Internet of Things (IoT) and the widesp...
