In the course of more than 40 ears they have obtained Fixed Satellite Communications (FSC). Soon after Mobile Satellite Communications (MSC), Navigation and Determination came to serve navy, ground and air forces worldwide and for of economic reasons, they also provided commercial MSC. This article covers a history of these subjects.
Erik Boch – CTO & VP of Engineering from Dragonwave Inc. looks at the changing hardware requirements for high capacity wireless backhaul especially among for Microcellular deployments for 4G.
This article presents the concept and methodology for the realization of an automatic test procedure based on LabVIEW for RF characterisation of a C-band rotary field phase shifter. Using this software, all the characteristics of a phase shifter intended for phased array application, such as differential phase shift, insertion loss, return loss, rms phase error, insertion phase etc, are measured and displayed graphically.
The growth in mobile broadband services is driving a sea change in the technologies employed to build and operate mobile networks. In particular, the introduction of all-IP transport promises to replace traditional time division multiplexed (TDM) networks to provide network scalability and lower operational costs. To support this network evolution, a new class of licensed microwave backhaul solutions has been introduced to the market, known variously as Packet All-IP or Next Generation radios.
The sudden increase in data traffi c volumes, courtesy smart devices like the iPhone, have made it diffi cult for operators to keep a lid on network costs while they try and keep up with incessantly exploding mobile data demand from burgeoning smart devices, applications, and changing user behavior.
In RF systems, switches are as common as amplifiers, mixers, and PLLs. While many technologies yield good active RF devices, few yield good RF switches. Superior switches are available in Peregrine’s UltraCMOS™ process technology.
