To minimize issues from standing waves, engineers have long used Faraday rotation isolators that let forward-traveling signals pass to the load while attenuating reverse-traveling signals such as reflections. Higher frequencies, however, bring a new set of problems such as insertion loss that Micro Harmonics claims to have solved with its mmWave isolators. The series consists…

by Bob Everson, Global Director of Mobility and 5G, Cisco The first 5G launches came earlier than expected in 2019, most notably in South Korea and the USA. While South Korea was a more broad-scale launch, the introductions in the US were limited, with sparse availability. These restricted initial releases, unfortunately, created a lot of…

By Francesco Di Domenico, Principal Application Engineering at Infineon Technologies As cellular network operators begin to switch on and deliver the 5G experience, the world awaits with mounting anticipation of the benefits the new mobile network technology will bring. Consumers can expect higher bandwidth, lower latency and more advanced service delivery from 5G, but it…

Pre-commercial 5G has successfully launched in some countries, and the world is already excited about commercial 5G. A new digital era emerges as almost every household device will be able to connect with the internet, enabling further evolution of IoT. The impact of 5G will not be limited to networking. New technologies will evolve with…

Siemens and Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. have implemented the first private 5G standalone (SA) network in a real industrial environment using the 3.7-3.8GHz band. Both companies have joined forces in this project: Siemens is providing the actual industrial test conditions and end devices such as Simatic control systems and IO devices and Qualcomm is supplying the…
