A Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) natively measures complex S-parameters of a device under test (DUT) in the frequency domain mode by sweeping across various frequency points. While there is an exhaustive list of measurements that can be accomplished in the standard frequency domain mode – using the advanced inverse Chirp z-transformation, the measurements can also be simultaneously analyzed in the time domain mode. This gives the added advantage where the two fundamental modes of analysis can be performed by one single instrument.

5G implementation is accelerating and the promise of higher data rates means more challenges. Demand for more bandwidth increases the probability of interference in mobile devices, driving the need for advanced filtering. Qorvo's BAW filters have evolved to address higher frequencies in shrinking RFFE real estate, while maintaining RF output power.

5G is now - what´s next? 5G deployments have only recently started, and releases beyond R15 will continue to tap into the tremendous potential of 5G. However, as a new generation of cellular technology typically appears every 8-10 years, 6G can be expected around 2030.

This white paper provides an overview of the basic building blocks of a phased array system and discusses how the nature of their design leads to a challenging test environment. Real measurement configuration examples are shown to highlight the flexibility required for T/R module testing.

In many applications it is necessary to make multiport measurements. The RNVNA links up to 16 1-Port analyzers together into a multiport network analysis system. Each of the 16 analyzers will make individual vector reflection measurements and scalar transmission measurements from port to port. In other words, S11, S22, S33 and so on will be complex measurements and S21, S31, S41 and so on will be scalar only measurements.

This application note introduces the Jitter analysis capabilities of the R&S® RTO Digital Oscilloscope and the Jitter option R&S®RTO-K12 for digital signals. It provides background information on jitter sources and standard jitter measurement tools. Furthermore it demonstrates Period jitter, Cycle jitter and Time Interval Error jitter measurements based on an application example. The benefits of different representations of the measurement results with histogram, track and spectrum display are discussed.

Wi-Fi and 5G are enablers of autonomous vehicles. The challenge lies in how these technologies work together and co-exist ¬without impacting vehicle operation and passenger safety. This paper discusses Wi-Fi and 5G, how they co-exist with selectivity filter solutions to enable vehicular communications and passenger safety.

While Release 16 and beyond for 5G has immense untapped potential, 6G will take the user experience to a whole new level and would revolutionize many industries. Data rates on the order of Tera bits per second, latency on the order of few microseconds, and high energy efficiencies for the devices and the network would be hallmarks of 6G. High-fidelity holographic communications and multi-sensory communications could become part of our daily lives. While industries such as healthcare, manufacturing, entertainment, and transportation would begin to be influenced by 5G, they would be transformed on a larger scale by 6G.
