The Road To 5G Is Paved With Fiber
2/26/2018
The most demanding 5G applications will require fiber for each small cell, but the exact fiber cable requirements for each deployment will differ based on local geography and expected demand. This paper discusses the use of fiber in 5G technologies, as well as how to calculate the amount of fiber needed for 5G in metropolitan areas.

High-Efficiency Front-End For Pico And Modular Large Base Stations At LTE Bands 1 And 7
9/25/2017
The key to improving energy efficiency lies, fundamentally, in the use of active antennas. However, duplex operation of cellular phones greatly distorts the desired performance of active antennas. To correct this, one must deploy self-diplexed antennas.

Simulating Vibration, Impact And Fatigue For The IoT
7/13/2016
In order to design autonomous drones, wearables, self-driving automobiles, or smart industrial equipment using the Internet of Things (IoT), engineers need to take into account the amount of stress these products will encounter in harsh conditions. Many types of damage can have negative impacts like shortening the lifespan, causing warranty or repair expenses, and increasing liability risk. ANSYS simulation is created to help identify potential product failure early in the design process, which enables the anticipation of potential design problems and optimizes each product. This article describes the advantages of using ANSYS simulation for simulating severe conditions such as vibration, impact, and fatigue, with examples and images.

M2M In An LTE World
1/14/2016
The “Internet of Things” (IoT) industry has an increasingly significant collection of machine-to-machine (M2M) devices that can communicate with one another without any human intervention. This machine-type communication (MTC) is usually data-only, and typically does not include human-machine interface (HMI) features and functions. This white paper focuses on MTC and how it is applied to M2M devices in the rapidly emerging LTE world.
