5G Wideband Signal Generation and AnalysisWorldwide demand for wireless connected devices has been explosive driving wireless providers to seek higher datarates Substantially higher bandwidth modes are one of the technology components discussed in 5G New Radio (NR)to achieve higher data rates Two key features in 5G NR are especially important for the realization of higher datarates the use of millimeter wave (mmWave) frequencies up to 100 GHz and support for significantly higher signalbandwidths 5G NR supports signal bandwidths up to 100 MHz for carrier frequencies below 6 GHz and up to 400MHz for frequencies in the mmWave range

3GPP has initially defined a frequency range of 2425 GHz to 526 GHz for 5G NR cmWave and mmWave operationFirst commercial deployments will use 26 GHz to 28 GHz and 39 GHz frequencies

ChallengesAs 5G applications migrate from crowded microwave bands to sparsely utilized mm-wave spectrum to accommodatewider-bandwidth modulation schemes and higher data rates engineers must confront significant technicalchallenges The single carrier channel bandwidth and carrier aggregation determine the overall bandwidthrequirements A maximum channel bandwidth per 5G NR carrier of 100 MHz for the sub-6 GHz range and 400 MHzfor the mmWave range plus multiple carrier aggregation leads to a bandwidth requirement of up to 2 GHz For thecellular industry the spectrum above 6 GHz is a new area and component developers are facing many challengessuch as higher path attenuation phase noise frequency and phase stability as well as linearity and RF power addedefficiency (PAE) aspects Continue Reading

5G Wideband Signal Generation and AnalysisWorldwide demand for wireless connected devices has been explosive driving wireless providers to seek higher datarates Substantially higher bandwidth modes are one of the technology components discussed in 5G New Radio (NR)to achieve higher data rates Two key features in 5G NR are especially important for the realization of higher datarates the use of millimeter wave (mmWave) frequencies up to 100 GHz and support for significantly higher signalbandwidths 5G NR supports signal bandwidths up to 100 MHz for carrier frequencies below 6 GHz and up to 400MHz for frequencies in the mmWave range

3GPP has initially defined a frequency range of 2425 GHz to 526 GHz for 5G NR cmWave and mmWave operationFirst commercial deployments will use 26 GHz to 28 GHz and 39 GHz frequencies

ChallengesAs 5G applications migrate from crowded microwave bands to sparsely utilized mm-wave spectrum to accommodatewider-bandwidth modulation schemes and higher data rates engineers must confront significant technicalchallenges The single carrier channel bandwidth and carrier aggregation determine the overall bandwidthrequirements A maximum channel bandwidth per 5G NR carrier of 100 MHz for the sub-6 GHz range and 400 MHzfor the mmWave range plus multiple carrier aggregation leads to a bandwidth requirement of up to 2 GHz For thecellular industry the spectrum above 6 GHz is a new area and component developers are facing many challengessuch as higher path attenuation phase noise frequency and phase stability as well as linearity and RF power addedefficiency (PAE) aspects Continue Reading
