Low-loss high-speed data transmission
Professor Mike Payne and his research team have developed a new data transmission design, based on a pair of Goubau Lines – metallic tracks or wires with a carefully defined separation, tailored to the frequency of the transmitted data.
By using an appropriate antenna as a launcher and tailoring the design of the conductors, a new propagation mode with unexpectedly low transmission losses has been achieved. Potential applications of this technology include PCBs, ribbon cables, integrated circuits, and other previously limited applications by performance deficiencies.
We are now looking for commercial partners interested in commercialising this patent-protected technology.
Commercial benefits
- Extending the use of PCBs and ribbon cables to higher data rate applications (multi-gigabit per second data) with reduced losses.
- More efficient PCB designs without using ground plane, could lead to power savings of up to 80%.
- Simple fabrication, just requires the use of carefully defined design parameters.
