High-efficiency antennas optimized for small Wi-Fi6 and Wi-Fi6E devices
Antenova Ltd is announcing three antennas for Wi-Fi6 and Wi-fi6E. They are a surface-mounted antenna, a flexible antenna, and an external antenna for Wi-Fi6 and Wi-Fi6E. All three antennas use the 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz bands and support IEEE standards 802.11a/b/g/j/n/ac/ax. The SMD antenna, named Billi, part number SR43W078, measures 15 mm x 6 mm […]
Test gear checks out Wi-Fi 7 chipsets
An automated test solution checks out Broadcom Wi-Fi 7 chipsets, the industry’s first Wi-Fi 7 chipsets optimized for mobile handsets that also support simultaneous dual-band 2×2 IEEE 802.11be-compliant operation. Rohde & Schwarz collaborated with Broadcom to successfully verify the R&S CMP180 next generation wireless device test platform for R&D and production. The IEEE 802.11be amendment […]
How to increase SNR when testing at mmWave frequencies
Communication systems such as 5G that operate at today’s wide bandwidths and high orders of modulation need to maintain proper SNR and EMV. Path loss and phase noise can get in the way.
SMA interconnects ensure reliability in extreme exposure environments
Amphenol RF expanded its line of extreme exposure RF interconnects with an additional SMA bulkhead jack. This connector is a waterproof, IP67-rated solution designed to terminate to flexible, low-loss LMR 400 cable. In addition to the standard features of this popular interface, this connector offers an extra layer of protection that guards against harsh external […]
