Renesas adds three timing ICs for 4G/5G radios
The 8V19N850 radio synchronizer and 8V19N880/8V19N882 jitter attenuators enhance a radio unit’s timing capabilities.
How to improve 5G coverage and capacity
The laws of physics work against RF engineers, forcing design tradeoffs in mmWave systems. Beam steering, frequency reuse, and greater spectral efficiency can help.
Wi-Fi/Bluetooth modules offer pad or chip antennas
The Innophase INP1012 and INP1013 modules run on little power, saving battery time in IoT devices.
Antennas validate robotic SAR test systems
Equipment used for measuring specific absorption rate needs validation to provide useful test results.
Low-power TCXO improves IoT battery life
The SiT5008 from SiTime goes to 60 MHz, draws 3.5 mA, and features a standby mode.
5G radios increase emphasis on compliance testing
Compared to 4G and previous generations, 5G’s mmWave frequencies and tight integration increase the complexity of both performance and regulator compliance testing.
