Marketers worldwide are hyping the idea that 5G networks will be deployed in 2019. Indeed, I’m guilty of contributing to this impression. When we examine the true definition of millimeter-wave (mmWave ...

OFDM and WiMAX are hot topics on the RF DesignLine, so I had a virtual “sit down” with some leaders in the industry to see where the technology is, and where they think it is going. The following ...

Several waveforms are being researched as potential candidates for the new non-backwards compatible 5G air interface, spanning a wide range from very simple single carrier to very sophisticated ...

The race to define and build next-generation broadband wireless networks is in full swing. And though Qualcomm doesn’t like to use the term “4G,” the company — a key supplier of chip technology for ...

Seeking to establish the key factors to consider when selecting a suitable PLC technology for smart metering applications, to objectively evaluate established DCSK PLC technology versus proposed OFDM ...

German electronics manufacturer Siemens has set what it claims to be the fastest-ever wireless connection. At its research lab in Munich, Siemens achieved a transmission speed of 1Gbps by combining an ...

The 11n standard is based on orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM), which is also used in the 802.11a/g standards. It's a proven way to extend range and data rate in multipath environments ...

Combining ultra-wideband (UWB) with Bluetooth makes more sense if the multiband-OFDM approach to UWB is used, according to US fabless semiconductor firm Staccato Communications. This follows last week ...
