DALLAS, Nov. 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- COMSovereign
Holding Corp. (NASDAQ: COMS and COMSP) ("COMSovereign" or the
"Company"), a U.S.-based developer of 4G LTE Advanced and 5G
communication systems and solutions today announced that its
completed Over-The-Air ("OTA") testing of its breakthrough Lextrum
In-Band Full Duplex (IBFD) self-interference cancellation
technology. As a result of the completed testing, the Company is
now introducing ASTARA™ (Adaptive Simultaneous Transmit and Receive
Antenna), a standalone, electronically reconfigurable antenna
technology specifically designed for self-interference cancellation
applications. The new antenna system can enable some wireless
network operators to quickly benefit from Lextrum's IBFD technology
with up to a 100% increase in simultaneous bandwidth.
In-Band Full Duplex, the ability to simultaneously broadcast and
receive wireless signals over a single wireless channel, has the
potential to dramatically increase throughput and spectral
efficiency in increasingly congested and contested spectrum bands.
Lextrum's proprietary in-band full duplex technology addresses the
limitation of traditional Time Division Duplexing (TDD) methods by
delivering up to twice the throughput in a given channel and
reduces the occupied bandwidth required for Frequency Division
Duplexing (FDD) based systems. As it nearly eliminates the
need for additional guard band spacing, the overall reduction in
bandwidth as compared to traditional FDD can be greater than a
factor of 2.
Dr. Scott Velazquez, Chief
Research Officer at COMSovereign, said, "ASTARA™ is a
breakthrough in spectral efficiency and is a critical enabling
technology for practical IBFD communications working across the
most widely deployed frequencies including C and S bands which are
crucial to emerging 5G deployments. Lextrum's IBFD essentially
doubles the data capacity of communications by using the same
frequency band for simultaneous transmission and reception (STAR),
and with the introduction of this new antenna technology, we are
able to provide the telecommunications industry with a valuable new
solution that addresses efficient spectrum usage, one of the most
significant challenges they face."
ASTARA™ highlights include:
- ASTARA™ is an electronically reconfigurable antenna that
provides up to 70 dB of self-interference cancellation within the
antenna itself. Efficient antenna calibration can be performed
quickly and regularly, for example, during training intervals which
are already provisioned in modern communications systems standards
to optimize the antenna's cancellation performance in highly
variable or mobile environments
- This novel system exclusively available from Lextrum uses a
reconfigurable array-based antenna to provide self-interference
cancellation with a bandwidth that exceeds 100 MHz to accommodate
modern wideband, high data rate 5G waveforms.
- Unlike traditional beamforming or beam steering approaches
which require large numbers of elements and complex adaptive
control algorithms, ASTARA™'s reception characteristics can be
electronically tuned to cancel its transmit signal without
affecting its beam pattern, even in the presence of nearfield
reflections.
- The ASTARA™ technology can be combined with other interference
cancellation techniques including digitally assisted analog
cancellation such COMSovereign's patented Adaptive Signal
Cancellation (ASC™) technology and fully digital signal separation
techniques to provide total cancellation greater than 120 dB of
self-interference cancellation.
- Lextrum's IBFD and antenna technologies will be available for
licensing to radio manufacturers looking to upgrade their products
to support bandwidth doubling via in-band full duplex
operation.
"Confirmed by strong over the air test results, we believe that
Lextrum's IBFD technology is a critical enabling technology for 5G
where densification of the radio access network (RAN) will create
significant challenges for network operators who are looking to
maximize the value of their billion-dollar investments into
spectrum. This unique and valuable technology is a key
differentiator in the marketplace and is why we are so excited that
it is an integral part of our product roadmap for COMSovereign as
we commercialize our next generation of 5G radios including Polaris
G2 scheduled for introduction next year," added Dr. Dustin McIntire, Chief Technology Officer of
COMSovereign.
A whitepaper entitled "In-Band Full-Duplex Communications
Using a Novel Adaptive Reconfigurable Antenna" authored by
Scott R. Velazquez, Ph.D. and
Dustin H. McIntire, Ph.D, detailing
the over-the-air testing of Lextrum's In-Band Full Duplex and
ASTARA™ electronically reconfigurable antenna technology has been
submitted for presentation at the GOMACTech 2022 conference
scheduled for March 21 – 24, 2022.
GOMATech was established primarily to review developments in
microcircuit applications for government systems. Established in
1968, the conference has focused on advances in systems being
developed by the Department of Defense and other government
agencies and has been used to announce major government
microelectronics initiatives.
