A Multi-Functional Reconfigurable Antenna (MRA), invented by a professor of electrical engineering at Utah State University (USU), can locate the frequency and direction of a wireless signal, unlike conventional antennas that have been in use for more than a century and are made to listen for signals in all directions.Professor of electrical engineering at Utah State University, Dr. Bedri Cetiner, and his multifunctional reconfigurable antenna (MRA), which can find the frequency and direction of wireless signals. Dr. Cetiner’s MRA technology is licensed to Verana Networks, who recently announced that Verizon will conduct trials of the new antenna for their 5G base station and holds the potential to potentially reduce energy consumption and allow better usage of the electromagnetic.
