At the May 2022 6G Symposium, three speakers proposed modulation and coding methods for 6G. As you might expect, they keep getting more complex to handle the expected higher data rates.

A family of 1.35 mm board and cable connectors and cable assemblies from Samtec move mmWave signals.

FCC records are full of comments, replies, reports, and a slide deck citing contrasting positions on 12 GHz and the feasibility of it becoming part of 5G frequency allocations. Proponents of using 12 GHz for 5G have filed an updated report with the FCC claiming that 5G can share the 12.2 GHz to 12.7 GHz…

The Pharoah antenna from Antenova covers popular LTE frequencies while producing signals in a small ground plane.

Before the testing begins, several policy and business issues need resolution. Stakeholders must agree on one testing methodology, which should combine modeling and real world measurements.

Steep learning curves in RF mmWave antenna design demand collaboration and technology understanding beyond sub-6 GHz strategies.
