Look inside the 5G mmWave signal chain
Millimeter wave signals provide wider bandwidths and higher data rates than signals at lower frequencies. Take a look at the overall signal chain that falls between the antenna and the digital baseband. 5G new radio (5G NR) adds mmWave frequencies to cellular devices and networks. With that comes RF-to-baseband signal chains and components not needed…Module brings Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Thread, and Matter to embedded designs
