It can be hard to fully account for thermal management and affected parameters in wireless access points or customer premises equipment prior to FCC certification. This article is the first in a series that looks at the design challenges for Wi-Fi front end designs. Part 2 will cover coexistence and interference.

The following example investigates Wi-Fi throughput coverage in a house provided by 802.11ac routers operating at 5 GHz using an 80 MHz bandwidth. 

There are many noise power ratio (NPR) measurement techniques used to test high-performance multi-carrier amplifiers. Rohde & Schwarz offers this application note to assist as a guide to generating NPR stimulus signals and to measure the resulting NPR of a device under test.

As the demand for mobile data and an increasingly connected world develop, the 4G network will struggle to keep up. 5G networks will provide wider channel bandwidths and greater data capacity than current 4G networks. 

DLI has over 40 years of experience in ceramic and thin film manufacturing with high permittivity and temperature-stable dielectric materials that allow for smaller products and higher selectivity in filtering applications. 

The world’s communications and other connected technologies are evolving rapidly toward 5G in the hope of bringing about new and exciting solutions for deep learning, artificial intelligence, and “ambient awareness.” 

The JFW Model 50MS-367 is a 4 X 4 blocking matrix switch designed to operate in the DC to 40 GHz frequency range, and is ideally suited for SATCOM and wireless 5G signal routing applications. 

The SENCITY Shield antenna platform operates in frequencies ranging from 380 to 6000 MHz and has high power capabilities up to 100 W and more. It features high RF power handling, small form factors, low visibility, and uniform signal distribution. 

Growth of mobile and wireless communications has increased the need for propagation modeling and network planning simulation.  This webinar will show how FEKO and WinProp can be used for the 5G antenna design, analysis of radio coverage, and channel statistics.

In this webinar, Remcom uses Wireless InSite MIMO to simulate FD-MIMO systems and review some of the real-world challenges that beamforming systems face in their attempts to gather accurate channel state information that is critical to their success.
