09.27.22 -- What You Need To Know About Wi-Fi 7 & Matter Ratification

Matter is a universal software layer, a foundation for connected things and their application, that will act as the universal IoT standard compatible with various protocols deployed in our homes today. With Matter, all ecosystem manufacturers can make it easier for product developers to innovate because the interoperability function is taken care of.

Although 5G is here, cellular technology evolution will continue to progress, and the standards of testing these new evolutions will inevitably lag the technology development.

SAR sensors allow original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to build products that reduce RF power only when necessary. Smart sensors are highly accurate and can distinguish an inanimate object from a human, ensuring that the device is operating at peak performance and in compliance.

More frequency bands and larger dynamic ranges increase the number of test points required in characterization and production of the latest RF front ends (RFFE). Actively managing test time and cost while maintaining quality is more important than ever before.

This white paper presents practical methods for achieving an ultrafast power supply transient response in wireless and, especially, RF applications.

While several connectivity options exist for smart metering, many cannot penetrate dense buildings and have issues providing seamless service. Semtech’s LoRa® devices and LoRaWAN® standard enable long-range connectivity and low power consumption to enhance the performance.

The application of machine learning for optimal deployment of 5G infrastructure, such as the orientation of the antenna that helps achieve the best coverage, is investigated in this paper.
