A co-processor is configured for performing vector matrix multiplication (VMM) to solve computational problems such as partial differential equations (PDEs). An analog Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) can be implemented by invoking VMM of input signals with Fourier basis functions using analog crossbar arrays. Linear and non-linear PDEs can be solved by implementing spectral PDE solution methods as an alternative to massively discretized finite difference methods, while exploiting inherent parallelism realized through the crossbar arrays. A digital controller interfaces with the crossbar arrays to direct write and read operations to the crossbar arrays.

A co-processor is configured for performing vector matrix multiplication (VMM) to solve computational problems such as partial differential equations (PDEs). An analog Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) can be implemented by invoking VMM of input signals with Fourier basis functions using analog crossbar arrays. Linear and non-linear PDEs can be solved by implementing spectral PDE solution methods as an alternative to massively discretized finite difference methods, while exploiting inherent parallelism realized through the crossbar arrays. The analog crossbar array can be implemented in CMOS and memristors or a hybrid solution including a combination of CMOS and memristors.

A system and apparatus including a wireless network architecture that provides broadband data network coverage over an expandable geographic area. A media access control layer is also provided that facilitates access to the broadband wireless network. A high-frequency wireless modem enables high data rate access to the wireless network in a spectrally-efficient manner using SSB modulation. A wideband millimeter-wave antenna includes a cosecant-squared reflector enabling signal propagation between network elements thereby enabling seamless wireless communications. A millimeter-wave polarizer, and a septum polarizer each convert between linear and circular polarization. A cross-shaped horn antenna adapted for circularly polarized signals can also be used in combination with the septum polarizer. A combined horn antenna is fed using a microstrip patch antenna.
