IMS 2023 roundup: semiconductors and microwave components
Through photos and videos, EE World covers some of the active and passive components that RF and wireless engineers need to connect us all.
5G mmWave signal chain: the phase-locked loop
In “Look inside the 5G mmWave signal chain,” we explored the overall architecture of the mmWave signal chain. Now, we’ll look deeper into each of a transceiver’s components. Phase-locked Loops (PLL) are important blocks for a clean reference clock generation in cellular networks. In 5G mmWave radio networks, the PLL supports data rates of 1…
Sub-6 GHz and mmWave: It depends on location
Engineers are building 5G into Wi-Fi and IoT devices. Frequencies used depend not only on country, but location within a country. As 5G moves into deployment, engineers are designing it into new products. Some are now beginning to appear on the market and many more will follow. Analog Devices has been leading the way with…
Quad-channel, wideband RF transceiver handles 3G/4G/5G macrocell base stations, M-MIMO, small cell system apps
ADI has announced a new member of our industry-leading RadioVerse family, the ADRV9026 quad-channel, wideband RF transceiver. Designed to support base station applications (including single and multistandard 3G/4G/5G macrocell base stations, massive MIMO (M-MIMO), and small cell systems) this wideband RF transceiver offers quad-channel integration with the lowest power, smallest size, common-platform solution. The highly…
