NIST researchers are developing advanced technologies to support the next generation of high-speed wireless communications, including 5G and beyond. As transmission frequencies increase and data transfer speeds accelerate, ensuring accurate signal processing becomes more challenging. NIST is addressing this by creating near-perfect electromagnetic waveforms to calibrate communications devices, extending the reach of their chip-scale voltage and frequency standards to higher voltages and frequencies, and developing portable ultra-accurate timekeeping technologies. These advancements will be crucial for maintaining reliable and secure communications in a rapidly evolving technological landscape.
