The IW612 from NXP lets you add three radios to IoT devices. Support for Matter provides a universal API.
2022: The 5G predictions
Several standouts for 2022 reached our editorial offices. We present them here.. As one year ends and another begins, so come the predictions. Over the past two years, we’ve seen how predicting the upcoming year is harder than ever. That doesn’t stop anyone from trying, though. How many of us throught we’ve still be dealing…
5G EMF emissions fall well within safety limits
Measurements show EM fields from 5G Massive MIMO base stations fall within WHO boundaries for human safety. Professor Wout Joseph, WAVES an imec research group at Ghent University, Belgium Massive multiple-input/multiple-output (MIMO) technology, a key enabler of 5G networks, uses antennae consisting of tens of sub-elements to direct radio beams to mobile users’ exact location.…
5G altimeter interference: aviation versus telecoms
The auctioning of the C-band for 5G use has raised concerns in North America that signals could interfere with aircraft altimeter operations. 5GTW asked a filter engineer and a test expert if there’s a problem and how to fix it.
5G transceiver doubles Tx/Rx channels and bandwidth
The ADRV9040 SoC from Analog Devices provides 400 MHz channel bandwidth across eight transmit and receive channels

GaN transistors power telecom equipment and phone chargers
STMicroelectronics adds to it’s STPOWER portfolio with 15 A, 650 V power devices.
Liquid crystal polymers get an upgrade for high-speed signals
RF and high-speed digital signals have brought on the development of new liquid crystal polymer materials used in connectors, PCBs, and other interconnects. Liquid crystal polymers (LCPs) are experiencing a surge in demand resulting from high-speed communications technologies, particularly fine-pitch components such as high-frequency connectors, board-to-board connectors, and low-pass insulation supporters, or dipoles on active […]
5G signals push a need for new materials
5G’s RF signals and data rates bring development of new liquid crystal polymer materials for connectors, and PCBs to minimize signal losses
ATEasy gets a facelift for 2021
The test programming environment also adds useability features and 64-bit support. Automated test stations depend on test executives, test sequences, and instrument drivers to perform functional tests on systems, subsystems, and components. Now in its 30th year, ATEasy from Marvin Test Solutions gets a facelift and a host of new features to help test-development teams […]
