The Fibocom FM160-NA adds 5G, 4G, and 3G wireless connectivity to IoT devices.
Amplifier boosts signals from 2 GHz to 18 GHz
The AM1111 amplifier from Atlanta Micro provides 16 dB of gain from 2 GHz to 18 GHz. You can cascade multiple amplifiers to boost signals as needed. Powered by +5 V and packaged in 3 mm QFN package, the AM1111’s input and output provide a 50-Ω DC-blocked impedance.It consumes 500 mW and has a 2.5…
6G Symposium emphasizes business and technology
The latest symposium took a turn toward business use cases at the expense of the usual technical talks, with speakers saying that use cases should drive the technology. Through most of 5G’s development, conference topics generally focused on the technologies such as the radio and network technologies. With much of that settled, talk moved to…
Marki adds four models to diplexer line
Four new models cover DC to 26.5 GHz at different crossover frequencies.
Six design considerations for local data storage
Engineers must consider these design tradeoffs when choosing data storage for embedded, IoT, and network equipment. 5G’s higher data rates adds another factor to the mix.
Filters keep RF signals in line
In a video interview with 5G Technology World, Resonant’s Mike Eddy explains how RF filters keep wanted signals in an interference out. It’s all in the physics. As bandwidth gets crowded, governments auction more spectrum to accommodate our insatiable demand for data. While 3G used frequencies around 1 GHz, 4G expanded to around 2 GHz.…
Radar sensor integrates antenna and signal processing
The BGT60LTR11AIP from Infineon Technologies lets you add a 60-GHz motion sensor to embedded devices.
5G and AIoT will need new semiconductor materials
Technologies such as gate-all-around FETs and neuromorphic analog memory will increase speed and reduce power consumption in the chiplets that control artificial intelligence of things devices and systems. While 5G provides improved speed to consumers, it’s the industrial, automotive, infrastructure, and IoT applications that make 5G stand out. These applications will need IoT devices that…
Measure in-band and adjacent channel power
Spectrum analyzers let you see how distortion can affect transmitted RF signals.
How it works: Base station on a chip
EdgeQ is sampling what it calls a “base station on a chip” that handles high-PHY through baseband. CEO Vinay Ravuri explains its architecture in a video.
