A prototype digital transmitter is designed with 6th-order CMB-DSM using a loop filter with stability compensation.

Measurements show a detection dynamic range of 30dB over the 50GHz to 66GHz bandwidth.

Inkjet printing is used to directly fabricate antennas on the surfaces of the 3D-printed plastic, enabling a fully additive manufacturing of the structure. Multiple antennas on the cube's surfaces can be used for RF energy harvesting of signals arriving from totally orthogonal directions, with the use of an appropriate harvester.
