When complete, Altran’s 5G test lab will emulate all parts of a network, letting hardware engineers, network engineers, and software developers test products at any point in the 5G network. 5G Technology World interviewed Altran’s Shamik Mishra, CTO Connectivity, about the lab.

The SMM100A series of vector signal generators from Rohde & Schwarz have models that generate RF signals from 100 kHz with a high-end model to 44 GHz. That covers today’s 5G frequencies and more.

The CW641 from NXP supports the latest version of Wi-Fi while still supporting legacy versions.

CES isn’t just about the latest consumer gadgets, there’s something for engineers, too.

Sold-state drives using the Nonvolatile Memory Express (NVMe) architecture support computers that include wireless routers, IoT and sensor network gateways, video cameras, and industrial PCs. Solid-state drives (SSDs) connect to hosts over PCIe, which can even run over network fabrics such as Ethernet. SSDs connected using NVMe and PCIe can attain higher data rates than…

In a video interview, James Kimery of Spirent Communications explains how test plays the role of arbiter of communications among radio units, distribution units, and centralized units.

5G Technology World spoke with Analog Devices’ Nitin Sharma on the massive MIMO technology deployed in 5G base stations from NEC.

Create Your Own EMC Troubleshooting Kit (Volume 1): Essential Tools for EMC Troubleshooters by Kenneth Wyatt shows you the tools you need to start tackling interference problems.

RF power amplifiers consume lots of energy, which is a concern associated with 5G. Envelope tracking helps reduce power consumption but has tradeoffs.

As Wi-Fi 6E products come to market, they need testing. The Pal-6E from octoScope lets you test performance at these new frequencies.
