10 GHz Contiguous Channel Bonding

Extreme Ultra-Wideband Carrier Aggregation in Sub-THz Bands

Baseband technique aggregating multiple adjacent sub-THz channels into a single massive 10 GHz wide pipe delivering hundreds of gigabits per second.

Technical Explanation

In 5G, carrier aggregation combined channels measuring 100 MHz wide. In 6G sub-THz bands, wide swathes of unfragmented spectrum permit 10 GHz Contiguous Channel Bonding. By treating 10 GHz of continuous bandwidth as a single unified radio bearer, the physical layer achieves raw channel data rates exceeding 100 Gbps on a single RF carrier with simple QPSK or 16-QAM modulation.

Key Functions

  • Bonds 10 GHz of continuous spectrum into a single massive wireless channel
  • Delivers >100 Gbps single-carrier throughput without requiring complex high-order QAM
  • Relaxes baseband digital signal processor equalization constraints
  • Enables wireless front-haul pipes capable of replacing optical fiber bundles
