5. How To Design User Equipment Antenna Systems For 5G Wireless Networks 8/17/2020

   The evolution to 5G promises low latency, high data rates, and increased channel capacity for mobile communication networks. Delivering this promise requires revamping existing networks, building new infrastructure and developing the client devices. These are major changes and implementing them is going to be difficult, costly, and time-consuming. To this end, virtual prototyping through simulation can help solve the difficult engineering challenges, realize innovations, and reduce costs. This paper provides pervasive simulation techniques and workflows for designing 5G antennas, microcell arrays and end-user devices or user equipment (UE) on Ansys tools.

   This white paper describes a simulation workflow in Ansys HFSS used to design 5G base station (or microcell) arrays. It looks to tackle problems related to the antenna’s beamforming capabilities that use MIMO techniques, and describes modeling techniques used for mm-wave antenna arrays before their deployment on a microcell or base station.

7. Building 5G Small Cells Without Compromising Performance 8/10/2020

   Before small cell technology took its place as a central component to realizing the promise of 5G networks, it played an important role in helping to improve the coverage and capacity of 4G. These mini base stations could be installed in discrete locations like on buildings or streetlights and became part of heterogeneous networks—together with traditional macro base stations—to improve service in high-traffic locations such as sporting events and concert venues. In this pursuit, small cells have proven valuable for extending signal penetration and increasing wireless density and these small, lightweight devices will continue to be a key technology for the data-intensive transition to 5G.
