Can dielectric waveguide antennas boost 5G efficiency?

Aharon Etengoff — Wed, 29 May 2024 16:05:28 +0000

5G base stations rely on phased arrays to steer signals and increase data rates. Beam steering circuits, however, consume power. Using waveguides could reduce energy consumption in base stations. Waveguides are physical structures that direct electromagnetic waves from one point to another, confining energy within specific boundaries to control propagation, direction, and mode. While waveguide…

Wi-Fi performance testing now has standards

Leigh Chinitz, Spirent Communications — Wed, 15 May 2024 09:41:40 +0000

By Leigh Chinitz, Spirent Communications Until recently, service providers were unable to predict in-home performance of Wi-Fi devices because they lacked standardized test cases. Now, industry groups have advanced three new standards, each geared toward different Wi-Fi use cases. The Wi-Fi industry has long had standardized conformance testing to confirm that a device meets standards…
