Phased array technology is far from new. Phased-array antennas have been used for decades in a variety of military applications. Now, however, their use in 5G systems in the Band 2 frequency range is ...

All 5G systems networks are going to use MIMO (massive input, massive output) antenna arrays and beamforming. Many 5G systems will operate in millimeter wave (mmWave) spectrum. Designing MIMO arrays ...

This article appeared in Microwaves & RF and has been published here with permission. When studying 5G NR operation, it’s not immediately obvious that 5G meets all of the objectives of the 3GPP ...

The many technical factors that must be assessed in 5G antenna design, including their interactions. Further physical/environmental considerations for both the antenna and the entire system. In the ...

A piece of silicon less than three inches across may speed up the arrival of 5G mobile networks in the next few years. IBM Research and Ericsson have developed a compact antenna array that can aim ...

New antennas so thin that they can be sprayed into place are also robust enough to provide a strong signal at bandwidths that will be used by fifth-generation (5G) mobile devices. Performance results ...

Sprint is still planning to launch a 5G network in 2019, and the carrier is moving toward building a next-generation network by announcing the first six cities where it plans to roll out Massive MIMO ...

Researchers continue to develop new antenna measurement methods, this time for future 5G wireless communications systems. Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) ...

Wireless networks already have to deal with increasingly crowded waves, and that's only going to get worse when 5G rolls around. Any boost to the signal could lead to a big jump in performance, ...

4G LTE is already providing millions of customers with super fast data, but with more and more carriers looking to flip the switch on even nippier 1 Gbps networks and phones boasting faster modems, it ...
