Filters keep RF signals in line
In a video interview with 5G Technology World, Resonant’s Mike Eddy explains how RF filters keep wanted signals in an interference out. It’s all in the physics. As bandwidth gets crowded, governments auction more spectrum to accommodate our insatiable demand for data. While 3G used frequencies around 1 GHz, 4G expanded to around 2 GHz.…
How does Cat 5e cable handle Hi PoE?
Look at just about any kind of network connection today and you’ll find Cat 5e cable. It’s been the most widely used network cable since 2001 and handles signals up to 100 MHz. So you find Cat 5e handling 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 1000BASE-T Ethernet networks. But the actual power levels that Cat 5e sees when […]
5G and COVID-19 changed semiconductor test
In this video, 5G Technology World spoke with Marvin Test CEO Steve Sargeant about how the company adapted to mass production of mmWave devices and how the pandemic changed its methods of technical support.
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.
Looking for ghostly goings-on with a milligauss meter
Tune in to TV shows that are purportedly about ghost hunting and you’ll often see people wandering around in the dark with an instrument called a milligauss meter. A milligauss meter detects changing magnetic fields. (It won’t detect static fields as from a bar magnet.) When a milligauss meter shows a reading during a ghosting […]
Kit lets you evaluate converter, beamforming ICs
See and learn how mmWave and beamforming works before you design mmWave beamformers and up/down converters using Anokiwave’s Active Antenna Evaluation Kit.
New book profiles stories of engineering genius behind 1969 Apollo moon landing
In his recently released book, Guardians of the Right Stuff, veteran design engineer and author Steve Taranovich, shares fascinating stories of the engineering individuals and teams who from beginning to end, shaped the July 20, 1969 moon landing. Listen to Steve tell the stories himself in the video below.
mmWave FWA test reaches 6.5 km
Qualcomm, Ericsson, and TIM demonstrated just how far a line-of-site mmWave connection can reach, which could make fixed-wireless access more practical. Qualcomm’s Gautam Sheoran explains in the video interview.
5G lab tests hardware, software, and use cases
When complete, Altran’s 5G test lab will emulate all parts of a network, letting hardware engineers, network engineers, and software developers test products at any point in the 5G network. 5G Technology World interviewed Altran’s Shamik Mishra, CTO Connectivity, about the lab.
