DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to announce our next event\, a seminar by Dr. 
 Mihai Banu titled:\n\nEfficient Methods for Coherent Distribution of GHz S
 ignals over Large Electrical Distances with Application to Low-Cost Phased
  Arrays\n\nCoherent distribution of multiple high-frequency signals over l
 arge electrical distances is conventionally achieved with expensive techni
 ques such as employing passive precision manifolds and/or special power hu
 ngry electronics. We present several efficient design techniques for GHz c
 oherent signal distribution yielding a low-complexity\, low-cost and low-p
 ower general solution. These techniques were applied successfully in the d
 esign and manufacture of low-cost phased arrays. Such arrays have been use
 d in Radio Access Networks (RANs) of major Mobile Network Operators (MNOs)
  as simplified\, high performance beam-forming Massive MIMO radios. The ar
 chitecture and performance of these radios as well as their system integra
 tion will be discussed.\n\nThe talk will be held at the Elm Lecture Theatr
 e\, Nucleus Building\, Kings Buildings Campus at The University of Edinbur
 gh\, on the 23rd of June\, 2026 from 5:00PM to 6:30PM BST. With a chance t
 o network with Industry Experts\, pizza included!\n\nSpeaker(s): Dr Banu\,
