R & S believes that next year 5G communications is still the hottest issue.The photo shows the company's 5G test program show.
Whether new or old applications, the evolution of technology and standards development will bring a variety of new test challenges.In particular, the development of 5G communication technology, including multi-antenna MIMO, beam forming antenna array, from R & D to production stages , Are facing various challenges.
In this year's Rohde & Schwarz Forum of Technology of 2017, the possibilities for the development of the various technologies described above are discussed in depth from the point of view of testing. Basically, 5G communications will surely continue in 2018 The development of an important technical indicator, but the focus of attention, will gradually shift from the topic of multi-antenna MIMO and beam forming antenna array to the operation of mmWave (mmWave), that is, smart phones or mobile devices send and receive signals through the millimeter wave As a result, many challenges must be overcome.
First of all, to consider the appearance of the phone, the integration of the 5G chip and millimeter wave transceiver antenna, the phone's appearance will change with? And if you do not change the phone appearance, if the existing phone case, How to ensure that millimeter-wave communications will not consume too much cell phone power, and how backward compatible with the existing communications standards, which will be 2018, in the field of 5G communications will soon Emerging new challenges.
As for the IoT technology to be discussed in the market in recent years, it will also be discussed continuously in 2018. The focus of attention will be on the transmission technology of wireless IoT, including whether Bluetooth 5 can penetrate applications such as smart home and intelligent building, Will WI-FI standard seize more market share in IoT applications, what will happen to Sigfox and LoRa, and how NB-IoT and LTE-M will evolve. These will all be the result of IoT The market is the focus of most attention.
Of course, the development of this kind of new technology, all behind the need for a good test platform to do the checks on the market has been able to see many test-related manufacturers to launch the corresponding test platform, Rod Schwarz naturally do not fall behind. From 5G to IoT, RodSwiss now has a complete solution that allows customers to easily overcome these technical challenges.
