 Anritsu announces it has worked with Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., a subsidiary of Qualcomm Incorporated, to successfully demonstrate peak download speeds of 2 Gbps. The demonstration uses a mobile test device, powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon X24 LTE modem and a network simulator using 5x carrier aggregation  (5CC) with 4x4 MIMO, and 256-QAM modulation on all 5 carriers. Using the...

A class of materials called perovskites has emerged as a promising alternative to silicon for making inexpensive and efficient solar cells. But for all their promise, perovskites are not without their downsides. Most contain lead, which is highly toxic, and include organic materials that are not particularly stable when exposed to the environment. Now a group of researchers at Brown...

With the new R&S ATS1000 all-in-one antenna test system, active and passive antennas as well as transceivers for future fifth generation (5G) mobile networks can be tested in a compact, moveable shielded RF test chamber. This enables far-field antenna characterizations and initial RF measurements for 3GPP 5G NR in the millimeter wavelength range. The new R&S ATS1000 antenna test chamber from Rohde & Schwarz allows developers...

Mouser Electronics is now stocking the HMC8205 gallium nitride (GaN) power amplifier from Analog Devices, Inc. Covering the 300 MHz-to-6 GHz spectrum, the highly integrated wideband MMIC radio frequency (RF) amplifier provides significant benefits for system designers of applications such as wireless infrastructure, radar, public mobile radio, and general-purpose amplification test equipment that require pulse or continuous wave (CW)...

Amazon created a market with its innovative Alexa platform, but it faces fierce and growing competition from powerful rivals and start-ups alike.  In a competitive study of smart home voice control platforms, ABI Research, finds that Alexa currently leads the market. This is due mostly to the market deployment footprint and scale it enjoys. However, Amazon faces well positioned...

Quantum computing is heralded for its potential to tackle problems that today’s conventional computers can’t handle. Scientists and industries are looking to quantum computing to speed advancements in areas like chemistry or drug development, financial modeling, and even climate forecasting. To deliver on quantum computing’s potential, Intel initiated a collaborative research program in 2015 with the goal of developing a...

Talking about the communication devices, technology has developed from Analog to VoIP. The shifts have also changed the way entrepreneurs have to channelize budgets for investing in communication solutions. Increasing utilization of VoIP technology has improved access to different communicating modes. By installing in an EPABX, enterprises can consolidate these and help employees minimize the struggle of working through multiple...
