Home page: https://www.scr.siemens.com.Alex Jourjine, head of Siemens’ Adaptive Information and Signal ProcessingDepartment, last month announced a breakthrough in technology forwireless access to the Internet. Blind Source Separation (BSS) techniques,says Jourjine, can separate useful signals from the cacophony mixedtogether in an electronic babble. This technology could enable basestations to serve more users and thus reduce costs of Internet andwireless communications.”A theoretical groundwork has been laid,” says Jourjine, “and,using realistic data, we have been able to confirm that one can separate`blindly’ a large number of sources using only two receiving antennas.”A patent application has been filed and a commercial product couldbe developed within two years.Top Of PageExpansionsBohren’s Moving and Storage, 3 Applegate Drive,Robbinsville 08691.
