The new technology could in future form the basis of ultra-sensitive 5G receivers for use in very low power passive mobile networks. While the technology is still in the very early stages, it has the potential to provide greater sensitivity than conventional radio antennas, tuneable operation from very low frequencies, detection of analogue and digital modulation, and low energy consumption through reduced need for electronics. Theoretically over 100x more sensitive than traditional receivers, the atomic RF Receiver can be positioned in a passive optical receiver in hard-to-reach locations, potentially bringing mobile networks closer to achieving one hundred percent coverage and helping to close the connectivity divide. This new type of receiver may reduce mobile network energy consumption, enable Internet of Things (IoT) devices to become more cost efficient and longer lasting and support lower-cost smart cities and smart agriculture. #NEW QUANTUM RECEIVER RADIO FREQUENCY TRIAL#Previously, simple audio has been received using much higher frequencies but this trial is the first industrial demonstration using digital modulation within one of EE's main commercial 5G frequency ranges. BT's trial represents the first time a digitally-encoded message has been received on a 3.6GHz (5G) carrier frequency. The receiver works by using a quantum effect called “electromagnetically induced transparency” to form a highly sensitive electric field detector. Atomic Radio Frequency (RF) receiver technology represents a revolutionary new way of detecting radio waves that could find much weaker signals than conventional receivers.
