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.
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.
Wi-Fi 6 RF front ends combine functions
The low-power QFP4526 and high-power QFP4568 bring switches, filters, and amplifiers to Wi-Fi 8 (802.11ax) designs. Wi-Fi 6 (IEEE 802.11ax) access points, routers, gateways, customer-premise devices, and IoT devices need amplifiers to boost signal power to its final levels. The QFP4526 and QFP4568 front-end modules from Qorvo operate at 3.7 V and 5 V power…
EM simulation is crucial to 5G wireless design
5G Technology World spoke with Jonathan Oakley of Dassault Systemes on how the company’s electromagnetic simulation software helps engineers design and evaluate antennas for smartphones and IoT devices.
Video: Rakuten’s acquisition of Altiostar
The Open RAN software vendor is now part of the Japanese mobile network operator. 5G Technology World interviewed Altiostar’s Thierry Maupile about how the company will operate from now on.
Test cables cover 5G mmWave frequencies
The Clarity 70 operates at up to 70 GHz, covering 5G mmWave measurements.
Interview: Lower fiber losses mean fewer errors
Corning’s Roshene McCool explains how the SMF-28 Contour fiber reduces light losses, installation costs, and operating costs in fiber connections for 5G, computing, and datacenters.
VGA series covers 500 MHz to 40 GHz
Pasternack’s PE15S70xx variable-gain RF amplifiers bring output power up to 48 dB, depending on model.
Timing IC combines functions for Open RAN
Microchip’s ZL30735 integrates eight DPLLs, five low-output jitter synthesizers, and an IEEE 1588-2008 protocol stack. The splitting of radio access network functions creates an Open RAN that promises greater innovation and features in 5G networks. Splitting the traditional baseband unit into radio units (RU), distribution units (DU) and centralized units (CU) brings timing issues not…
