Cornell's world-first "microwave brain" computes differently | The simplified chip is analog rather than digital, yet can process ultrafast data and wireless communication signals simultaneously.


Researchers at Cornell University have developed an electronic chip that they describe as a "microwave brain." The simplified chip is analog rather than digital, yet can process ultrafast data and wireless communication signals simultaneously.

There were even advanced analog computers that solved complex equations using rods and cams and others that simulated national economies by the flow of liquid through tubes between reservoirs. If that wasn't enough, the technology could also be used to increase hardware security, detect anomalies in wireless communications, and improve radar target tracking and radio signal decoding. "In traditional digital systems, as tasks get more complex, you need more circuitry, more power and more error correction to maintain accuracy," said research lead Bal Govind.
