Spotlight On Mobile World Congress
|
 Far more than a mere communication device, mobiles now serve as our books, health monitors, payment transfer devices, social connectors, and tour guides. Mobile technology is embedded in our cars, homes, appliances, governments, and utilities. Mobile is enhancing and expanding education, and thus transforming the world. Mobile World Congress 2012 will celebrate the current state of mobile and offer a glimpse into where mobile has the potential to go next. Being held February 27 to March 1, 2012 in Barcelona, Spain, Mobile World Congress features more than 1,400 exhibitors and over 60,000 attendees.

Testing New-Generation Wireless LAN
By Agilent Technologies
The latest WLAN technology, 802.11ac, builds on 802.11n with a wider RF bandwidth (up to 160 MHz), MIMO, and high-density 256QAM modulation. The end result is that WLAN 802.11ac will provide high throughput of 1Gigabit/sec below 6 GHz for multiple stations.

Linking RF Design And Test Through AWR Software And National Instruments LabVIEW/T&M
By AWR
Many veteran designers no doubt remember how comparatively simple it was to design base station or mobile phone amplifiers when the only modulation technique was analog and amplifier performance could be verified using Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN). Nowadays, second (and subsequent) generations of wireless networks usher in digital modulation techniques that necessitate the need to stimulate amplifiers and other circuits with waveforms they actually process in service.
