New Radio Chip Mimics Human Ear Date: June 4, 2009 Source: Massachusetts Institute of Technology Summary: Engineers have built a fast, ultra-broadband, low-power radio chip, modeled on the human ...

A COMPUTER chip modelled on the human ear could be used in universal receivers for radio-frequency signals ranging from cellphone and wireless internet transmissions to radio and television ...

Now scientists at MIT have created a tiny antenna capable of receiving any radio signal, based on the human ear. TV, radio, GPS, ... A chip that can receive virtually any radio signal is good.

Now, by mimicking the mechanics of the human inner ear, his team has managed to produce the "RF [Radio Frequency] cochlea," a highly efficient signal processing chip that can analyze and ...

The chip is faster than any human-designed radio-frequency (RF) spectrum analyzer and also operates at a lower power. Mandal graduated from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, India in ...

The ear’s biological battery doesn’t generate much energy to begin with, and researchers were only able to use a small fraction of it to power the chip and transmitter to avoid disrupting hearing.

Professor Rahul Sarpeshkar (above, left) and his graduate student, Soumyajit Mandal (above, right), realized that the human cochlea spiral shape allows it to pick up frequencies that vary by a ...

If instead of writing this story I were telling it to you on my cell phone, while rushing through San Francisco International Airport past crying babies and the boarding announcements for Delta ...

Doctors Transplant Ear of Human Cells, Made by 3-D Printer. 3DBio Therapeutics, ... “like chocolate chips mixed into cookie dough ice cream,” according to Nathaniel Bachrach, ...

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--MIT engineers have built a fast, ultra-broadband, low-power radio chip, modeled on the human inner ear, that could enable wireless devices capable of receiving cell phone ...

The human inner ear—the cochlea—uses a combination of a liquid-filled channel and hairs that respond to frequencies ranging from 100 Hz to 10,000 Hz, a 100-fold range. Now imagine an RF circuit that ...
