You are right that "Exceptional claims require exceptional proof."
You are also right that at this time, due to contracts with the private side
investors, the project details can not be made public. After all, when a
group of companies take a look at a research project grant proposal and
decide to give a consortium of schools several million $ to do the research,
they are not doing that because they are the proverbial "Good Corporate
Citizens"... They want to make money on the deal. More precisely, they
EXPECT to make money on the deal.
I don't think (I hope) that the investors will boil me in oil for saying
that Sunday, some of the grad students were working in the Faraday lab and
reached a 5 second burst of 125 Mbps over a 30 meter run in the 10 GHz band
with a 3 db bandwidth of 145 KHz. This has not been verified or replicated
as of yet by another team. Also note that the signal is very, well, messy,
with an unfiltered 65 db bandwidth closer to 145 MHz. However, they used a
fairly sharp band-pass filter when they measured their throughput... At
least according to the report that was sent to me last night.
Again, referring back to the original post in this thread, the thing that I
find amazing and, based on private E-Mail I have received from a number of
lurkers, is the continuing lack of interest in digital modes that is being
perpetuated by narrow lines of thought and an unwillingness to "contribute
to the state of the radio art" in communications systems.
There is an old saying among physicists that "If a distinguished but elderly
physicist tells you that something is possible, you can safely bet that it
is possible... If that same physicist tells you that something in not
possible, you can safely bet that it is possible." I am as guilty of that as
anyone else... When I first read of string theory, I dismissed the concept
less than 100 pages into the thesis. After beating myself up a bit, I went
back, read the entire book plus some additional articles and came to the
conclusion that it is at least as correct as relativity and quantum
mechanics and, actually, fits most observations better than it's older
cousins.
In closing, one final quote for you...
"Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to
myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by
really becoming incapable of doing it. On the contrary, if I have the belief
that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may
not have it at the beginning."
I shall leave it to the intrepid to interpret and/or find the author of the
quote.

Most of them at least put the projects and p. investigators, etc.
It's called "advertising" ;-)
But what the heck, maybe something totally amazing that will
blow away all current theories of the transfer of information
across a channel will come from ACT.
Won't hold my breath.
"Exceptional claims require exceptional proof."
So far this is an unfounded rumor.
Gotta run, 6M is open again.

It is joint project between ACT, NPCEO, and NU.
When have you seen a private university system publish their research
projects on a web site?

Which program is doing this research?
I don't find anything on the ACT web site that is even close.

I would love to as soon as the university approves the release...
In the meantime, it is all proprietary and property of the
university.

TDM and, to a limited degree, WDM have been around and used for
several
decades in high performance networking. SDM is relatively new,
about
5
years.
There are far more ways to multiplex intelligence on a medium than
PSK
and
FSK, although both are used in high performance systems.
You are 100% correct... I may very well a few decimal places
off...
The
mathematical models show that 100 Mbps should be possible in as
little
as 10
KHz.
The last time someone made such fantastic claims, they weren't
correctly measuring bandwidth.
Perhaps you'd like to share independently-verifiable references
to your "mathematical models"?
