White Papers

This whitepaper discusses some of the candidate waveforms, and then introduces a new flexible testbed for 5G waveform generation and analysis. This testbed combines software solutions with test equipment to investigate and to perform “what if” scenarios for new emerging 5g waveform applications. Ensure you have the flexibility needed for creation and analysis of prototype 5G signals.

This white paper features key, yet-to-be published Massive MIMO topics and how a testbed can be used to accelerate wireless research by enabling the validation of simulated results through rapid prototyping.

This paper from Southwest Antennas explores the basics of MIMO (multiple-in, multiple-out) communication technology, specifically focusing on the current generation of portable, tactical MIMO radios and the antenna technology that help make MIMO an attractive choice for today’s mobile wireless networks.

Leveraging single positive bias E-pHEMT MMICs for microwave signal chains has SWaP-C benefits over legacy dual bias D-pHEMT technology. Beyond eliminating bias sequencing circuitry, new PAs and LNAs powered by E-pHEMT even offer higher gain and linearity. Get the extra headroom you need by downloading this tech brief today.

Legacy and traditional phase noise test equipment are large, heavy, complex, fragile, and expensive. This paper illustrates measurement sensitivity equivalency to the most common system in the market with advantages in being smaller, lighter, more reliable & capable, at a fraction of the cost.

Explore 5G cellular system waveforms, algorithms and techniques with Keysight’s 5G testbed hardware and software elements providing the flexibility needed to address the inherent challenges of signal generation and analysis.

Altair’s FEKO offers a wide spectrum of numerical methods and hybridizations, each suitable to a specific range of applications. Hybridization of numerical methods allows large and complex electromagnetic problems to be solved, thereby allowing solutions to problems that would be intractable with any individual method. This technical paper provides an overview of the methods.

This paper presents a new predictive capability for simulating massive MIMO antennas and beamforming in dense urban propagation environments.  Wireless InSite's MIMO capability is used to show predictions for SINR at specific device locations and the actual physical beams, including unintentional distortions caused by pilot contamination.

Load-pull simulation is a very simple yet powerful concept in which the load or source impedance presented to an active device is swept and its performance is measured. Performance contours are then plotted on a Smith chart, which shows the designer how changing impedances impact the device’s performance.
