ETSI unveils a new Report developed by its Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces group. ETSI GR RIS-003 explores communication models that offer a trade-off between electromagnetic accuracy and simplicity for performance evaluation and optimization. It also analyses channel models that include path-loss and multipath propagation effects, as well as the impact of interference. The last part of…

The Taurus product portfolio from Sequans Communications includes chipsets for chip-on-board designs, carrier-certified modules in various form factors, and module reference designs for customized modules. Much of the talk over wireless 5G for IoT being about low data rates. Not every application, however, can benefit from that. Some applications need higher data throughput. The Taurus…

Our 2023 5G, Wired, & Wireless Handbook is now available in ebook form. Download your copy today. It started on a cold January day with an editorial call. A month later, the abstracts came in. After another month, the manuscripts came in. Then came the editing and some back-and-forth with the authors. Next, it was…

5G brought passive intermodulation problems into the spotlight. Now it’s up to engineers and technicians to identify and mitigate signal degradation to minimize dropped calls and other issues. A loose connection; a metal roof; power lines. Even a rusty bolt. It’s estimated that mobile operators will spend $1.1 trillion on capital expenditure between 2020 and…

The ADRV904x-RD reference design from Analog Devices includes an 8T/8R transceiver and covers from RF to optical.

In the days leading up to MWC, Airgain, a company that produces embedded components, external antennas, and integrated systems, announced Lighthouse smart repeaters. Airgain said that the repeaters can significantly reduce an operator’s capital expenses for extending range while enhancing 5G coverage and improving customer experience. The repeaters use two Wi-Fi radios, one dedicated to…

MediaTek’s Dimensity 7200 modem chipset offers much for consumers, but what of the engineers who design with it?

Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X35 5G NR-Light modem supports 3GPP Release 17 specifications for connected devices in the Sub- 6 GHz band.

EE World went inside this one-of-a-kind truck that brings many forms of connectivity to first responders.

KP Performance Antennas has just introduced a new line of 6 GHz, Wi-Fi 6E capable sector antennas for indoor and outdoor applications such as large arenas and stadiums. KP’s new Wi-Fi 6E sector antennas offer high performance and throughput while supporting frequencies from 2.3 GHz to 7.2 GHz. They feature 17 dBi to 20 dBi gain, 65-degree and 90-degree…
