VTT solution develops compact devices

VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland has developed a new manufacturing technology for the integration of very high-frequency terahertz systems to enable cost-effective development of telecommunications and imaging solutions and space instruments that are even smaller and have higher frequencies. It can be used in telecommunications applications, where radio links built in frequency bands of one hundred gigahertz enable wireless data transfer, and is also aimed at benefitting imaging solutions operating

814 VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland has developed a new manufacturing technology for the integration of very high-frequency terahertz systems to enable cost-effective development of telecommunications and imaging solutions and space instruments that are even smaller and have higher frequencies.

It can be used in telecommunications applications, where radio links built in frequency bands of one hundred gigahertz enable wireless data transfer, and is also aimed at benefitting imaging solutions operating at terahertz frequencies such as security cameras that can even reveal bladed objects under clothing. The technology is also suitable for the manufacturing of increasingly smaller remote mapping devices used in satellites in space.

    One of the biggest problems facing US ITS professionals, says Georgia DOT's Hugh Colton, is the constrained thinking which is sometimes forced upon those making procurement decisions. It is time, he says, to look again at how we do things. In the November/December 2010 edition of this journal, Pete Goldin interviewed Joseph Sussman, chairman of the US's ITS Program Advisory Committee. Amongst other observations that Sussman made was that, technologically, ITS in the US is 10 years behind that in the world-l
