5G White Papers, Application Notes, Case Studies, & Brochures

1. Qorvo® Multiplexer Filter Solutions Brochure 12/23/2019

   Qorvo offers a variety of multiplexer filter solutions designed for enabling complex carrier aggregation (CA) in advanced LTE and 5G architectures.

2. 5G And mmWave Testing Brochure 11/27/2019

   New technologies being deployed will need to rely on the performance of both high-power amplifiers on the transmit side, and low noise amplifiers on the receive side. Quantifying critical specifications like noise figure and noise power ratio can give radio and receiver designers a deep understanding of how the overall system will perform. Noisecom noises sources generate the broadband noise required to do this type of benchmarking and quantify component and system performance across the microwave and millimeter bands.

3. Best Practices to Accelerate 5G Base Station Deployment: Your RF Front-End Massive MIMO Primer 11/8/2019

   Strategy Analytics predicts an explosive growth of emerging 5G networks. They forecasted the number of new base station sectors deployed to double between 2018 and 2024. This rapid 5G growth will result in equipment for nearly 9.4 million new and upgraded wireless base stations deployed by 2024. Many of these 5G base stations will incorporate massive MIMO antennas. These new 5G network architectures incorporating massive MIMO antennas are pushing always-on connectivity to the outer edges of the cellular network. This article covers everything to know about the fundamentals of the RF front-end in the massive MIMO base station.

4. Components For 5G - What Is New? 10/16/2019

   With the next big step in mobile communication, 5G will introduce new RF techniques, new frequencies and signal bandwidths. Ultimately, 5G New Radio (5G NR) will bring higher speed, reduced latency, more capacity and improved reliability. While the system parameters will change, the hardware to enable the new major step in mobile technology towards 5G NR will be different as well. New technologies will be deployed and designs have to follow the new requirements.

5. Introduction To ANSYS 5G Antenna Solutions 10/3/2019

   This white paper addresses the complexity of designing various points in 5G systems, and discusses possible solutions to design and simulate antenna systems, antenna-to-antenna coupling, environmental effects on signal propagation, and V2V / V2X communication.

6. Making 5G Work: Accelerating Testing Across The Workflow To Put 5G Devices In The Hands Of Customers 9/19/2019

   5G represents an exponential increase in technical complexity with challenges coming from 5G new radio (NR), massive multiple input multiple output (MIMO), millimeter-wave (mmWave) frequencies, and over-the-air (OTA) test methods. Device makers must effectively overcome these challenges to reach commercialization faster than the competition. This paper includes useful tips to help manufacturers accelerate time to market across the 5G workflow and reach first-to-market status.

7. Connectivity Q & A: Reducing Wi-Fi Interference 9/19/2019

   Wi-Fi Tech & Trends is Qorvo's new blog series that features questions and answers from Tony Testa, Director of Wireless Connectivity Solutions. In this article, Tony will provide insight on the latest Wi-Fi design tips, trends and innovative solutions.

8. 4 Things To Know About Antenna Tuning In 4G/5G Smartphones 8/29/2019

   Current trends in smartphone industrial design and RF requirements mean that smartphones must fit more antennas into less space and/or increase the bandwidth of existing antennas. This article introduces four key elements to understand about antenna tuning in 4G and 5G mobile devices.

9. Redefining 5G New Radio Drive Testing 8/15/2019

   As 5G NR networks are deployed, live network testing is needed to ensure network coverage and Quality of Experience (QoE). In addition, QoE testing in 5G NR will get more complicated due to changes in the network architecture. This means traditional testing will not reflect the true service quality as seen by an application. QoE field testing will need to be tested at the application layer to address the 5G NR QoE measurement challenge and translate the user experience into measurable KPIs.
