5G is now and 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.

Analog Devices’ new RF and microwave (MW) switch and attenuator products implemented in advanced silicon process benefit inherent advantages of silicon technology compared to legacy counterparts using gallium-arsenide (GaAs). This paper provides highlights on features and key performance parameters of the new switch...



The reliability of communications equipment depends primarily upon the reliability of the power supply. The most cost-effective approach to power system design is to employ power supplies designed for the application.
Power supplies that dissipate heat from the sensitive electronics via large, flat baseplates to heatsinks...



This white paper describes the performance and characteristics of two new ultra low noise LNAs from Skyworks. Topics include techniques used in biasing and matching these devices. A circuit description, including information on thermal considerations, is also addressed.

Deembedding, often a necessary and complex task, is made easier with an integrated hardware and software solution. Whether you are debugging a high-speed interface such as DDR or PCIe, characterising a fast clock or analysing a complex RF signal, you want to see the real signal and not artifacts of the test setup such...



Weatherproofing options for coaxial connections at cell sites have changed and expanded along with the cell sites themselves. Today’s more complex cell site designs demand a new type of weatherproofing solution to protect vulnerable connection points at the antenna and the remote radio unit (RRU).

Stepper motors are mostly driven in open loop mode. Timing of the step pulses is defined by the controller, the motor is supposed to follow without loosing synchronism. Stepper motors are in fact natural positioning devices which do not require position feedback. The drawback of their design are important iron losses when...



5G NR (New Radio) has pioneered the use of mmWave frequencies that provide large bandwidths. This frequency range 2 (FR2), ranging from 24.25 GHz to 52.6 GHz, enables reliable, high data rate transmissions required particularly for demanding real-time applications with low latencies.
