At the 2021 (virtual) IEEE Microwave Symposium, the industry looked at where wireless is going and how it will get beyond 5G.
IMS2021: Live event was never in doubt
While the International Microwave Symposium will also hold a virtual conference, exhibitors insisted on a live event albeit with COVID-19 restrictions.
Our first 5G handbook awaits you
5G Technology World and EE World present our first 5G handbook, digital edition.
Wi-Fi 6E front end integrates amplifiers and switches
The WLAN7205C from NXP reduces the number of components in the Wi-Fi RF signal chain.
Size, weight, power, and heat affect 5G base station designs
Engineers designing 5G base stations must contend with energy use, weight, size, and heat, which impact design decisions.
The challenges of building a 5G base station
To meet 3GPP specifications, a 5G New Radio (NR) implementation must meet demanding processing requirements and RF capabilities. Compared to LTE, this results in a need for higher performing, more flexible 5G NR hardware. Looking at 5G’s technical challenges, we see the frequencies and spectrum supported now include a sub-6 GHz range, FR1, with bandwidths…
How Doherty Amplifiers improve PA efficiency
An amplifier design from 1936 gets a revival by reducing power consumption in cellular radios.
CES 2021: The engineering perspective
CES isn’t just about the latest consumer gadgets, there’s something for engineers, too.
What’s inside Rakuten Mobile’s open RAN radio?
5G Technology World spoke with Analog Devices’ Nitin Sharma on the massive MIMO technology deployed in 5G base stations from NEC.
Envelope tracking improves power amplifier efficiency
RF power amplifiers consume lots of energy, which is a concern associated with 5G. Envelope tracking helps reduce power consumption but has tradeoffs.
