IOT WHITE PAPERS, APPLICATION NOTES, CASE STUDIES, & BROCHURES

  • Qorvo enables seamless 5G connectivity through advanced RF solutions, supporting applications from small cells to fixed wireless access, with a focus on mmWave technology.

  • Sign up for this webinar, which explores in-vehicle network trends, including ethernet testing per OPEN Alliance standards, and de-embedding techniques, crucial for ensuring reliable automotive connectivity. 

  • Matter is a universal software layer, a foundation for connected things and their application, 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.

  • The number of connected devices in our homes continues to rise, and each device can be held to a different wireless standard. Qorvo explains how to manage multiple traffic standards within a connected home to keep communications between devices fast, efficient, scalable, and able to receive more data. 

  • Over-the-air (OTA) testing, something not historically possible with past generations of wireless devices, has the potential to revolutionize wireless device testing while enabling innovative testing of both advanced antenna systems (AAS) and antenna array technology.

  • Led by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), multiple portions of the spectrum ranging from the C band to the V band were either opened or auctioned to new uses throughout the year. These changes drive a variety of new opportunities for wireless device manufacturers and broadband and cellular carriers. These new opportunities result in a range of fresh challenges for RF technology vendors to help solve. 

  • Used in communications, radar sensors, and IoT, ultrawideband (UWB) technology uses an extremely high bandwidth of 500 MHz or more. The ETSI standard requires a resolution bandwidth of 50 MHz. This application note explains technical reasons for the bandwidth limitation and presents solutions for regulative UWB testing using the R&S®ESW. 

  • There’s a new standard in town and its name is CHIP – Connected Home Over the Internet Protocol. It aims to elevate consumers’ smart home experiences by making products more compatible. Up until now, we’ve had a range of protocols – Wi-Fi, Zigbee, Bluetooth® Low Energy, Thread, etc. This article provides a brief introduction to this standard.
