Download the white paper and learn about the numerous use cases and applications for 5G, gain a better understanding of how 5G enables innovation and how 5G testing solutions accelerates time-to-market.

New satellite and military communications systems plus 5G cellular communications will require much larger bandwidth signals in the hundreds of MHz versus current systems using tens of MHz of bandwidth, so new semiconductor amplifier designs need to support these wider bandwidth signals. However, designing and testing these types of devices is challenging. This eBook addresses some of the design and test challenges plus provides some solutions for wider bandwidth amplifier design and test giving RF/microwave designers better insight in this area.

The failure of a coaxial cable assembly during operation can be costly, and not just monetarily. The cost failure could also amount to loss of life, complete mission failure, or the downtime of essential communication, radar, location, or jammer systems.

Rohde & Schwarz gives you the benefit of a well-coordinated portfolio of conducted and OTA test solutions. Radar, satellite communications and 5G NR use AAS with phased array antennas for beamforming. Hybrid beamforming combines the flexibility of digital beamforming with the efficiency of analog beamforming. Increasing integration enables compact and cost-efficient AAS. To achieve accurate, reliable and efficient beamforming, it is necessary to understand and compensate for the nonlinear behavior of RF components.

5G is poised to enable a host of new applications and experiences, but with this revolution comes the need for semiconductor technologies that can help 5G live up to this hype. Learn about the cellular and Wi-Fi architectural changes 5G is driving in smartphones, and the technologies making this possible.

The R&S®SMW200A GNSS simulator offers an easy and convenient way to test your receiver design against a wide variety of potential interferers and jammers. Test cases extend from simple coexistence simulations to complex interference scenarios with localized emitters.

A robust test bench is an essential element to any team conducting daily RF device and assembly prototyping, characterization, and calibration. And among the most common instruments you’ll find on benches everywhere, from component and subsystem manufacturers to antenna system integrators and cellular network providers, is a signal generator.

In PCB manufacturing, not all the potential problems that can threaten the successful manufacture of a complex microwave circuit are necessarily captured in simulations. This paper looks at some common mistakes we see every day in the manufacturing process, and how to adjust your design to avoid those pitfalls.

In order to realize high performance mm-Wave communications, beamforming antenna systems will need to be smarter, faster, smaller, cost less, have lower latency, and be easier to integrate than current technologies. Much like with previous telecommunication systems, integrating important processing and signal conditioning functions will help to achieve cost-effective and compact mm-Wave beamforming antenna. However, for complex mm-Wave 5G and Tactical Communications, simply integrating sensitive RF and analog hardware is unlikely to be viable in the near-future. An All-Digital Antenna approach leveraging Antenna Processing Units (APUs)/ASICs could be more promising and further reduce the time-to-market for highly anticipated multi-data path mm-Wave 5G and Tactical Communication systems.
