METAWAVE’S SOLUTION THE CHALLENGE
Leveraging adaptive metamaterials and Artitial Intelligence, Metawave is
building intelligent beamsteering radars for autonomous driving, and
passive/active smart beamsteering antennas for xed and mobile networks
to provide faster networks and near-instant connectivity for billions of users.
Metawave’s current agship beamsteering technology platform was
originally developed at Xerox PARC.
Metawave’s product not only eliminates the need for a large number of
antennas, but also supports 3D (both azimuth and tilt) steering capability with
RF signal beamwidth conned within 1° , while reducing interference power
(sidelobes) by more than 25 dB, performance unattainable with DBF arrays.
Today’s xed and mobile networks are addressing the rapid growth in data usage and subscriber number challenges by
operating at higher frequencies and using Massive MIMO antenna arrays, including digital beamforming and steering
technologies. Metawave is solving these challenges using single active antennas based on analog signal processing. Unlike
digital, SABER’s analog approach can deliver a pencil beam using a single RF channel while keeping the sidelobes
(interferences) very low over wide steering angles both in horizontal and vertical directions. SABER systems cover wide
frequency ranges including sub 6 GHz, 28 GHz, 60 GHz, and E-band frequencies.
Increase the throughput of xed and wireless networks while increasing number of users and reducing interference caused by other users’ signals within the cell. Conventional DBF antennas are complex, expensive, slow, and cannot steer or beamform RF signals over wide angles without causing interference.
