At the 2021 (virtual) IEEE Microwave Symposium, the industry looked at where wireless is going and how it will get beyond 5G.
5G
Overcome 5G mmWave measurement issues
Signal analyzers and best measurement practices can minimize errors that result from losses at mmWave frequencies.
Buck dc-dc converter ICs sport built-in MOSFETs
ROHM Semiconductor announced two new bucks DC/DC converter ICs with built-in MOSFET – the BD9G500EFJ-LA and BD9F500QUZ – ideal for applications supporting high voltages and currents in factory automation equipment (e.g., PLCs / inverters, and 5G base stations that handle high power). Recent years have seen evolving markets of battery-driven applications and advanced industrial equipment, such as 5G […]
How to specify a high-frequency PCB
As frequency increases, the effects of PCBs gain in importance for signal fidelity. Specifying PCB material, signal power and return planes, and signal layout all play a role.
Students and researchers depend on test equipment
In a video interview with Wilson Lee of Tektronix, EE World shows how COVID-19 brought about remote learning, and with it, remote operation of lab equipment at universities.
Measure power in complex RF signals
Antenna transmits, receives 915 MHz ISM and LoRaWAN signals
The Fera antenna from Antenova uses a flexible design that can fit into small spaces.
CMOS oscillators exhibit low phase noise
IQD is launching its newest low phase noise oscillators, the IQXO-408 & IQXO-455, available in industry-standard packages of 2.5 x 2.0 mm and 3.2 x 2.5 mm. The new CMOS clock oscillators can perform with a close-in phase noise as low as -113 dBc/Hz @ 10 Hz and far-out phase noise as low as -175 […]
Deploy and maintain an Open RAN network
Open radio access networks offer advantages in locating network functions of proprietary RANs. Automation and orchestration let telecom networks do what computing networks have done for years.
IMS2021: Live event was never in doubt
While the International Microwave Symposium will also hold a virtual conference, exhibitors insisted on a live event albeit with COVID-19 restrictions.
