08.15.23 -- Broadening The 5G Ecosystem With RedCap

Heterogeneous integration (HI) merges diverse electronic components into a compact system, with integrated passive devices (IPDs) vital for performance and manufacturing in HI.

Over the next few years, the global transition to 5G will expand in scope to cover many more applications. 5G Reduced Capability (RedCap) is a key step in this evolution.

The evolution of radar has grown steadily over the decades to its present level that employs sophisticated computerized techniques, which has stimulated the development of increasingly complex components. This white paper provides a basic introduction to radar technologies and to the application of radar equipment.

The LO to RF isolation of a mixer is a critical performance specification in most broadband applications. LO feedthrough can not only contaminate a system, but the noise fed from the LO path can degrade a system’s noise figure. 

Understanding antenna beamwidth and how it influences a test environment is critical to accurate and repeatable tests. This article defines antenna beamwidth, explores the antenna beamwidth properties and explains it's importance for compliance testing.
