Researchers in Australia and Japan have developed a signal mixer that enhances the capacity of terahertz communications.

The mixer merges two polarized signals of the same frequency into a single beam and operates at frequencies being explored for future 6 G networks.

The researchers report transmitting aggregated data rates of up to 155 and 190 gigabits per second (with the help of two common error correction methods).

An early version of 6 G could still be launched around 2030 , though it will likely depend on mid-band frequencies.

The researchers tested the current multiplexer in the sub-terahertz J-band ( 220 to 330 GHz ) and reported their results in August .
