LG successfully sent 6G terahertz wireless communication signals 100 meters in an outdoor environment in collaboration with Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, Europe's leading application-oriented research organization, in Berlin last week.

The company developed a new power amplifier with Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft to deliver stable communication signals at the 6G terahertz spectrum. The ultrawide band spectrum has a short frequency coverage range, while power losses in antenna transmitting and receiving processes are severe, demanding enhanced power amplifiers to solve such problems.

LG Electronics is an early starter of 6G technology R&D in the world. As early as January 2019, more than two months before the launch of commercial 5G services by Korea's three major telecom operators, LG Electronics set up a 6G R&D center in the Korea Institute of Science and Technology in Daejeon, led by Cho Dong-ho, a professor of electrical engineering at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology, to start research and development of 6G technology.
