As radio-access networks change from a single unit into a distributed system, which will also impact how networks keep time. Precision Time Protocol will distribute timing information, keeping the units synchronized in time and phase.
Signal quality analyzer supports USB4 receiver tests
The USB4 receiver test solution uses the Anritsu Signal Quality Analyzer-R MP1900A in combination with automation software from Granite River Labs or Teledyne LeCroy to control a connected oscilloscope and implement tests meeting the latest USB4 standards. The spread of next-generation 5G mobile communications and Internet of Things (IoT) devices is driving development of various […]
Add Wi-Fi 6 connectivity to your IoT device
iEW400 IP from Imagination Technologies lets you add the latest Wi-Fi connectivity to an FPGA, SoC, or ASIC, with focus on minimizing power consumption and increasing battery life.
BBox: Beam steering for mmWave testing
The BBox from TMYTEK lets you control a signal’s amplitude and phase under software control. Use it to test antennas, phones, small cells, and measure material properties when subjected to mmWave signals. Testing beamforming antennas, user equipment, small cells, and other items requires that you have a way to create a steered signal. Taiwan-based TMY…

Use the free test tool to check your radio and protocols before bringing your low-power IoT device to a lab for certification.
USB4 IP covers controllers, routers, PHYs
Synopsys today introduced the industry’s first complete DesignWare USB4 IP solution consisting of controllers, routers, PHYs, and verification IP. The DesignWare USB4 IP operates at up to 40 Gbps, which is twice the maximum data rate of USB 3.2 and is backward compatible with USB 3.x and USB 2.0 systems. The DesignWare USB4 IP supports […]
OFDMA improves spectrum use in Wi-Fi 6
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access increases the efficiency of a crowded Wi-Fi channel. The access point is in control, managing who gets bandwidth and when.
Verifying 5G with OTA testing
The 5G realm puts a new emphasis on making measurements without hardwired connections. Adnan Khan | Anritsu Co. 5G systems are being rolled out globally, bringing with them throughput speeds of up to 10 Gbps, higher frequencies that extend into the millimeter wave (mmWave) spectrum, and devices operating in multiple radio access technologies (RATs). Engineers […]
5G Over-the-Air Testing: An update
MIMO differs from LTE to 5G, plus 5G adds mmWave frequencies and beam steering. Both force changes in emulating channels.
Mobile test gear captures multiple wireless bands
