Personal communication devices such as smart phones increasingly demand higher data throughput to support new applications.[1] Improving throughput in a given bandwidth and coverage area requires a ...

Telecoms.com periodically invites expert third parties to share their views on the industry’s most pressing issues. In this piece Mihai Banu CTO of Blue Danube Systems, examines some of the cutting ...

Modern SDRs evolve from configurable platforms into intelligent wideband sensing systems combining high dynamic range, ...

While 5G standards are still very much evolving, the goals for higher data rates, lower-latency network accesses, and more energy-efficient implementations are clear. And with higher data rates comes ...

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 blog installment discusses common types of beamforming algorithms as well as a framework to develop and test your own beamformers. Phased-array systems have many advantages over single antennas.

Beamforming is one of those concepts that seem so simple that you wonder why no one thought of it before. Instead of broadcasting a signal to a wide area, hoping to reach your target, why not ...

While the concepts of beamforming have been around since the 1940s, the technology is currently playing a key role in improving modern wireless communication standards such as Wi-Fi and 5G. In ...
