In this work, a high-gain broadband printed Yagi directional antenna for applications in ISM bands (686 and 915 MHz) is presented. The proposed antenna was designed to be implemented in a wireless system, devoted to water and wastewater level and underground flow measurements.
This application note presents a new predictive capability for simulating massive MIMO antennas and beamforming in dense urban propagation environments. Wireless InSite MIMO predicts the complex channel matrix for mobile devices within a small cell. Beamforming techniques are used to display the actual physical beams and evaluate signal power and interference, including pilot contamination distortion.
This application note discusses how co-located MIMO performs as well as or better than spatially separated SISO antennas while providing a cheaper alternative.
Carrier aggregation (CA) enables mobile network operators worldwide to provide faster data, and allows mobile devices to communicate on multiple LTE bands simultaneously. This, however, creates the challenge of avoiding interference between the bands while keeping up good reception and battery life. Multiplexers are an excellent solution for CA combinations that use closely spaced bands since they provide isolation between and within bands, while allowing them to connect to the antenna at the same time. This white paper discusses the challenges of carrier aggregation, and the important benefits of using multiplexer solutions to solve them.
Teledyne Labtech, a business unit of Teledyne Microwave Solutions (TMS), is one of the few companies in the world who can offer large format PCB for use in RF/microwave applications. Their products and PCBs can be found in a large range of products ranging from antennas for large phased array radar, to components used in the world's most sophisticated fighter aircraft. Their continued investment has expanded their capabilities to enable Teledyne Labtech to offer a large range of non-standard PCBs. The auto-clave vacuum oven capability allows Teledyne Labtech to manufacture large format multilayer PCBs.

HUBER+SUHNER develops and produces an extensive portfolio of directional and omni-directional antennas for a wide range of indoor and outdoor wireless connections. Among these antennas include Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) for indoor coverage of mobile communication voice and data traffic, antennas with low visual impact and high data-traffic, and many other antennas optimized for wireless transportation communications, WLAN, and WiFi applications.
The SAS-571 double ridge horn antenna is a broadband antenna operating over the 700 MHz to 18.0 GHz frequency range. With high gain, low VSWR, input handling capability up to 300 W CW, and a rugged design, this antenna ideal for immunity and emissions testing applications.
Highly mobile shelters deployed in harsh environments rely on the high connectivity, security, and other benefits that an RF-over-Fiber system has to offer. HUBER+SUHNER provides fiber optic cables that allow for shelters to be positioned far away from the antennas, yet still ensure that antenna links and the shelter are secure. These fiber optic cables are also able to reduce the cable footprint of the application, making the solution lighter in weight, higher in mobility, and dramatically speed up and simplify installation and maintenance.
The SAS-570 double ridge horn antenna is a broadband antenna operating over the 170 MHz to 3.0 GHz frequency range. With high gain, low VSWR, input handling capability up to 800 W CW, and a rugged design, this antenna ideal for immunity and emissions testing applications.
