Designing 224 Gigabits per second four-level pulse amplitude modulation (224 Gbps-PAM4) interconnects is challenging. But it’s required to support the demands of generative artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), 1.6 Terabits per second (Tbps) networking, and other high-speed applications in advanced data centers, as well as 5G and 6G communications infrastructure. At these elevated data…

Video: Research at NYU Wireless and Nokia aims for 6G
Upper mid-band frequencies, above 100 GHz frequencies, and integrated sensing are some of the projects that could find their way into cellular networks. At the 2023 NYU Brooklyn 6G Summit, EE world met with Prof. Sundeep Rangan, associate director of NYU Wireless and Peter Vetter, president of core research at Nokia Bell Labs to discuss…
Ultra-wideband antennas meet unique spectrum needs
Ultra-wideband RF applications need specialized antennas to support their unusual spectrum and bandwidth characteristics. Ultra-wideband is a short-range, high-bandwidth wireless technology that offers precise positioning and tracking as well as highly secure communications. It can provide accurate distance measurements in real-time without interfering with conventional narrowband and carrier wave transmissions in the same frequency bands.…
Board-to-board connectors pass 16 Gb/sec digital signals
Hirose has expanded its DF40 board-to-board floating connector series to support PCI-ex Gen.4 (16Gbps) and MIPI D-PHY Ver.1.1 (1.5Gbps). The DF40F Series provides high-density mounting, significant space-savings, and high-temperature resistance to 125 degrees for automotive applications. The DF40F Series is most commonly used in in-vehicle sensor applications including cameras, LIDAR, millimeter-wave radar, and more. Simplifying […]
