Diodes Incorporated announced the introduction of a PCIe 3.0 packet switch IC. DIODES PI7C9X3G1632GP provides flexible multi-port and lane width configuration, resulting in elevated levels of performance and availability. This will prove beneficial in systems dealing with AI/deep learning workloads, data storage equipment, the servers in data centers, wireless/wireline telecommunications infrastructure, and various forms of modern […]
5G
Our second 5G Handbook is now available
Featuring 15 articles, the 2022 5G Handbook looks at private networks, timing, connectivity, latency, mmWaves, test, and other topics.
Wireless modules support two or three radios
The MAYA-W2 series from u-blox provide wireless connectivity with Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth LE, and 802.15.4 radios.
Oven-controlled Xtal oscillators sync to 1 pps input, output
IQD has presented the IQCM-200, a disciplined OCXO, incorporating sync to a 1 PPS (pulse per second) input as well as a 1 PPS output. Its exceptional holdover stability and accuracy make this particular product a superlative Disciplined OCXO. The IQCM-200 is part of a series of disciplined OCXOs available from IQD. This particular model […]
MOSFETS feature low on resistance for high power density
STMicroelectronics’ STPOWER MDmesh M9 and DM9 N-channel super-junction multi-drain silicon power MOSFETs are ideal for switched-mode power supplies (SMPS) in applications from data-center servers and 5G infrastructure to flat-panel televisions. The first devices to be launched are the 650V STP65N045M9 and the 600V STP60N043DM9. Both have very low on-resistance (RDS(on)) per unit area, which maximizes power density and permits compact system dimensions. Each has the […]
Omni outdoor antennas cover 5G low bands
Fairview Microwave Inc. has just released a new series of 5G outdoor-rated omnidirectional antennas that cover 4G, 5G, LTE, and CBRS bands. These small form factor omni antennas are the perfect solution when broad coverage is required but traditional base station antennas are too bulky or expensive. They support 6, 7, 8, and 10 dBi…
Brooklyn 6G: Sustainability is the goal
NYU brought its wireless symposium back to life, now called Brooklyn 6G. This 2½ hour virtual symposium focused on sustainability as the most important topic in next-generation networks.
Mitigate mmWave test costs in 5G smartphones
The economics of manufacturing test directly affect how you plan for the right number of test stations and test sites. Adding mmWave testing makes the difference.
Signal generator uses DDS to produce clean signals
The M9484C VXG signal generator from Keysight supports up to four independent channels for testing 5G and satellite receivers. When designing new and emerging technologies, you often need test equipment that’s a step ahead of the technology you’re developing. Given the complex OFDM modulations used in 5G radios, you need to accurately generate those signals…
IoT antenna shrinks footprint by 50%
The Pharoah antenna from Antenova covers popular LTE frequencies while producing signals in a small ground plane.
