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.…
Wi-Fi 6 RF front ends combine functions
The low-power QFP4526 and high-power QFP4568 bring switches, filters, and amplifiers to Wi-Fi 8 (802.11ax) designs. Wi-Fi 6 (IEEE 802.11ax) access points, routers, gateways, customer-premise devices, and IoT devices need amplifiers to boost signal power to its final levels. The QFP4526 and QFP4568 front-end modules from Qorvo operate at 3.7 V and 5 V power…
RF attenuator adjusts signals from 200 MHz to 8 GHz
Mini-Circuits RC4DAT-8G-120H RF signal attenuator reduces signals as much as 120 dB controlled over a USB or LAN link.
Private networks need engineering creativity
LTE and 5G private networks are not yet plug-and-play. They still need the engineering touch to solve business problems, said Cradlepoint’s Todd Krautkremer and Donna Johnson.
I bought a 5G phone, now what?
The time had come to purchase a new phone. The only decision was to buy an iPhone 11 or iPhone 12 and which model. Here’s the tale of the purchase and setup.
Learn these five basic RF measurements
Basic RF measurements go a long way toward characterizing today’s communication systems.
IMS2021: Live event was never in doubt
While the International Microwave Symposium will also hold a virtual conference, exhibitors insisted on a live event albeit with COVID-19 restrictions.
Signal analyzer widens bandwidth, lowers noise
Keysight’s N9042B UXA X-Series signal analyzer lets you analyze mmWave and sub-6 GHz signals while keeping the noise down.
Wi-Fi 6E front end integrates amplifiers and switches
The WLAN7205C from NXP reduces the number of components in the Wi-Fi RF signal chain.
Wi-Fi/Bluetooth modules offer pad or chip antennas
The Innophase INP1012 and INP1013 modules run on little power, saving battery time in IoT devices.
