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

Analog Devices demonstrated its ADF4377 Microwave Wideband Synthesizer with Integrated VCO at IMS 2022.

Up/down converters and beamformers from Analog devices cover frequencies from 24 GHz to 43.5 GHz. mmWave, the part of 5G that brings those happy faces on wireless carrier commercials, adds up/down conversion to the 5G RF signal chain. Beamforming, needed to direct signals to users, plays an important role. After all, who doesn’t need to…

On March 10, four engineers will look at 5G energy consumption from components to networks.

The ADRV9040 SoC from Analog Devices provides 400 MHz channel bandwidth across eight transmit and receive channels

A hybrid International Microwave Symposium (IMS) took place live in Atlanta and online two weeks later in June 2021. See a selection of companies and product — mostly 5G — showcased in the virtual version.

While the International Microwave Symposium will also hold a virtual conference, exhibitors insisted on a live event albeit with COVID-19 restrictions.

5G Technology World spoke with Analog Devices’ Nitin Sharma on the massive MIMO technology deployed in 5G base stations from NEC.

The BNTL-RAN550 O-RAN radio unit from Benetel connects to a distribution unit, bringing 5G to indoor facilities.

MIMO and beamforming provide increased data rates than you can get using single, omnidirectional signals. Antennas convert between radio waves propagating through space and electric currents moving in a metal conductor. In early communication system, antennas were often quite simple, perhaps just a half-wave dipole constructed of wire. We usually just had one antenna per…
