Microchip’s ZL30735 integrates eight DPLLs, five low-output jitter synthesizers, and an IEEE 1588-2008 protocol stack. The splitting of radio access network functions creates an Open RAN that promises greater innovation and features in 5G networks. Splitting the traditional baseband unit into radio units (RU), distribution units (DU) and centralized units (CU) brings timing issues not…
VGA series covers 500 MHz to 40 GHz
Pasternack’s PE15S70xx variable-gain RF amplifiers bring output power up to 48 dB, depending on model.
RF attenuator adjusts signals from 200 MHz to 8 GHz
Mini-Circuits RC4DAT-8G-120H RF signal attenuator reduces signals as much as 120 dB controlled over a USB or LAN link.
Private networks need engineering creativity
LTE and 5G private networks are not yet plug-and-play. They still need the engineering touch to solve business problems, said Cradlepoint’s Todd Krautkremer and Donna Johnson.
I bought a 5G phone, now what?
The time had come to purchase a new phone. The only decision was to buy an iPhone 11 or iPhone 12 and which model. Here’s the tale of the purchase and setup.
Chipset adds LTE to IoT, falls back to 2G
The ALT1255 from Sony reduces cost for IoT connectivity by limiting features found in higher-end parts.
Private 5G networks unlock IoT applications
As more industries rely on wireless devices, sensors, and artificial intelligence to connect people and machines, private networks bring the potential to enable more advanced IoT applications while increasing security, bandwidth and speed.
SDR adds flexibility to communications systems
Software-defined radio addresses problems and limitations found in hardware-based radios, such as hardware obsolescence and rigidity.
Learn these five basic RF measurements
Basic RF measurements go a long way toward characterizing today’s communication systems.
Exfo rejects another Viavi takeover bid
Communications test-equipment choices would get still fewer if Exfo’s board accepts an offer, but that’s highly unlikely.
