HFGW FTS Proposal
Executive Summary
Executive Summary
Concept: HFGW
FTS to enable a dramatic improvement
in telecommunication bandwidth usage
efficiencies
| Concept:
Use High Frequency Gravitational Waves (HFGW) for a Frequency Time Standard
to enable a dramatic improvement in telecommunication bandwidth usage
efficiencies |
||
| HFGW
= Ripple in Space-Time caused by mass-energy fluctuation |
||
| Cost Areas /
Risks |
||
| HFGW Development:
Ground Station Transmitters & small remote terminal receivers sized for
cell phone use |
||
| Earth Transmitter
Station Facility & Overhead Costs |
||
| Remote Terminal
Receiver Overhead to cell phone manufacture |
||
| Savings Areas
/ Benefits |
||
| TDMA Efficiency:
Fast acquisition allows transmit on demand |
||
| PSK Efficiency:
Lower phase noise allows finer phase encoding, e.g. 8PSK or 16PSK versus QPSK |
||
| FDMA Efficiency:
Lower frequency errors allows finer FDMA and FHSS |
||
| Conclusions |
||
| Predicted value
to telecom industry exceeds $50B NPV over the next 10 years. Assuming 5%,
Licensing payback would exceed $2.5B |
||
| HFGW is an
unproven technology and experimental funding is required to reduce risk –
$20M upfront funding required for technology proof of concept |
