EnSilica’s eSi-MediSense lets you add medical sensing and wireless connectivity to a handheld or wearable device, plus machine learning capabilities.
Open RAN Policy Coalition pushes network equipment interoperability
Open radio access networks are moving ahead and will likely become the preferred connection between 5G radios and core networks.
Spectrum analyzers for mmWave engineers use oscilloscope front ends
Keysight Technologies has created a slim version of its high-bandwidth oscilloscopes for analyzing wireless signals, including 5G NR. When you think of high-bandwidth oscilloscopes, you may think that their sole use is for measuring the integrity of baseband digital signals—in the time domain. RF engineers typically work in the frequency domain using swept or real-time…
OFC plenary: 5G will drive optical
China Telecom’s Qi Bi told optical engineers how 5G will change their lives, and ours. 5G is more than wireless. Included in the 5G chain is fiber, lots of it. After all, how will all those mmWave small cells connect to the wired network? Thus, 5G should keep optical engineers busy for years, but only…
Test 802.11ax signal quality for transmitters and receivers
Given the need for ever-increasing Wi-Fi data rates and number of connections, IEEE 802.11ax builds on 802.11ac at the physical layer by adding support for both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz as well as denser modulation. That is, 1024 QAM to increase data rates. The so-called “Wi-Fi 6,” IEEE 802.11ax also adds orthogonal frequency-division multiple…
