Researchers from NIST have successfully developed a new timing jitter correcting chip that could improve GPS, telecommunications, and radar.
The new microchip effectively shrinks a tabletop’s worth of components, making it energy efficient and practical for everyday use.National Institute of Standards and Technology researchers have developed a revolutionary time-keeping microchip. Able to seamlessly convert light to microwaves, this new chip could dramatically improve global position systems , phone and internet connections, and radar accuracy.
What’s more, the new NIST technology is also very compact. It normally takes a tabletop-size system to achieve a similar feat, but the NIST team has also managed to shrink much of it into a compact chip. This will reduce the size and power usage and make it possible to include the system in small devices without extensive training or significant energy input.“The current technology takes several labs and many Ph. D.s to make microwave signals happen,” said NIST physical scientist Frank Quinlan. A lot of this research is about how we utilize the advantages of optical signals by shrinking the size of components and making everything more accessible,” he added.
