Astrapi Corporation and the TSR Research Lab have announced a joint research partnership to explore spiral-based modulation. Astrapi and TSR first met in the National Association of Broadcasters Futures Lab Park in 2015 leading to a research partnership to design, implement and test spiral-based radio platforms. These platforms will provide for a testing environment to demonstrate and quantify the benefits of spiral-based modulation in a variety of communication systems.
Pablo Angueira, Ph.D., Department of Communication Engineering, Bilbao Faculty of Engineering (UPV/EHU) stated, “We believe that spiral-based modulation represents an important and unexplored area of communications. The TSR Research Lab is uniquely positioned to discover the potential of this technology, and to demonstrate how this significant departure from traditional communications theory can result in substantial gains for communications implementations. Unlike traditional approaches, spiral-based modulation shows the potential to achieve capacity increases through the application of computational resources.”
This Spiral Modulation Research Partnership, based at the TSR Research Lab, University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) in Bilbao, Spain, will explore how spiral-based modulation can increase transmission rates, mitigate interference, facilitate synchronization, and combat phase impairments.
