Low-Power 'Microwave Brain' on a Chip Computes on Both Ultrafast Data and Wireless Signals

Cornell researchers create first microwave neural network on a chip

Cornell University researchers have developed a low-power microchip they call a "microwave brain," the first processor to compute on both ultrafast data signals and wireless communication signals by harnessing the physics of microwaves.

Cornell researchers build first ‘microwave brain’ on a chip

Cornell engineers have built the first fully integrated “microwave brain” — a silicon microchip that can process ultrafast data and wireless signals at the same time, while using less than 200 milliwatts of power. Instead of digital steps, it uses analog microwave physics for real-time computations like radar tracking, signal decoding, and anomaly detection. This unique neural network design bypasses traditional processing bottlenecks, achieving…
