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.
MCUs designed for sensing, multi-voltage analog applications
With smartphones, autonomous vehicles, and 5G wireless connectivity dominating the landscape of embedded design in 2022, Microchip’s 8-bit PIC and AVR microcontroller (MCU) families are gaining market share. Over the past 50 years, the market for 8-bit MCUs has grown steadily and Microchip currently sells one device for every human in the western hemisphere each […]
Test tool simplifies and automates LoRaWAN certification
The LoRaWAN Certification Test Tool (LCTT) accelerates time to market through test automation.
Attenuators cover DC to 2 GHz
Model series 351-276-XXX* are a line of 50 Ω fixed attenuators that produce attenuation values between 40 and 80 dB in 1 dB increments. These devices are rated 2-Watts average power with 1.40:1 maximum VSWR. The operating frequency range is DC – 2000 MHz, the operating temperature range is -55°C to +100°C and the RF…

Positioning in 5G NR – A look at the technology and related test aspects
Positioning technologies will continue to play an essential role in future wireless communications systems. The influence of these technologies is transitioning from a “nice-to-have” approach in legacy networks, where positioning is supported as an additional service, to a “must-have” approach requiring resilient and reliable provisioning of location estimates that play a central role in the…
