According to a report from Yonhap News Agency in Seoul on August 19, LG Electronics Co., Ltd. said on Thursday that it has successfully demonstrated 6G data transmission using terahertz spectrum. The South Korean technology giant is seeking to make progress in the next generation of communications technology.

According to the report, in Berlin last week, LG Electronics Co., Ltd. cooperated with the Fraunhofer Application Research Promotion Association, a major European application-oriented research institution, and successfully transmitted 6G terahertz wireless communication signals for 100 meters in an outdoor environment. .

LG Electronics Co., Ltd. stated that it and the Fraunhofer Association for the Promotion of Applied Research have jointly developed a new type of power amplifier to deliver stable communication signals on the 6G terahertz spectrum.

The report pointed out that the frequency coverage of this ultra-wideband spectrum is narrow, and the power loss in the antenna transmission and reception process is serious, and an enhanced power amplifier is needed to solve these problems.

LG Electronics Co., Ltd. said that the new power amplifier it has developed can achieve stable communication with a maximum output signal of 15 dB milliwatts in the 155 GHz to 175 GHz frequency band.

The company also claims that it has developed adaptive beamforming and high-gain antenna switching technologies for the 6G terahertz wireless communication demonstration.

LG Electronics Co., Ltd. predicts that 6G communications will be commercialized in 2029, and negotiations on standardization will begin in 2025.

The company believes that the next-generation telecommunications network can provide faster data transmission speeds, lower latency and higher reliability than 5G, and can bring the concept of environmental interconnection of everything, which is designed to provide users with A stronger connected experience.

According to the report, in 2019, LG Electronics Co., Ltd. established a 6G research center in cooperation with the Korea Academy of Science and Technology, and signed an agreement to study 6G technology with the Korea Institute of Standards and Science last year.

According to reports, in June of this year, the company's chief researcher was elected the next chairman of the G Alliance Application Working Group. The next G alliance is a North American mobile technology alliance dedicated to the development of 6G solutions.
