A team of Columbia Engineering researchers has invented a technology—full-duplex radio integrated circuits (ICs)—that can be implemented in nanoscale CMOS to enable simultaneous transmission and reception at the same frequency in a wireless radio. Up to now, this has been thought to be impossible: transmitters and receivers either work at different times or at the same time but at different frequencies. The Columbia team, led by Electrical Engineering Associate Professor Harish Krishnaswamy, is the first to demonstrate an IC that can accomplish this. The researchers presented their work at the International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC) in San Francisco on February 25.

“This is a game-changer,” says Krishnaswamy, director of the Columbia high-Speed and Mm-wave IC (CoSMIC) Lab. “By leveraging our new technology, networks can effectively double the frequency spectrum resources available for devices like smartphones and tablets.”

  What would you do
  If you were asked to give up your dreams for freedom
  What would you do
  If asked to make the ultimate sacrifice

  Would you think about all them people
  Who gave up everything they had
  Would you think about all them War Vets
  And would you start to feel bad

  Freedom isn't free
  It costs folks like you and me
  And if we don't all chip in
  We'll never pay that bill

  Freedom isn't free
  No, there's a hefty fuckin' fee
  And if you don't throw in your buck 'o five
  Who will?

  What would you do
  If someone told you to fight for freedom
  Would you answer the call
  Or run away like a little pussy

  'Cause the only reason that you're here
  Is 'cause folks died for you in the past
  So maybe now it's your turn
  To die kicking some ass

  Freedom isn't free
  It costs folks like you and me
  And if we don't all chip in
  We'll never pay that bill

  Freedom isn't free
  No, there's a hefty fuckin' fee
  And if you don't throw in your buck 'o five
  Who will?
  You don't throw in your buck 'o five
  Who will?

  Oo, buck 'o five
  Freedom costs a buck 'o five
