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 ...

Over the past year I’ve been writing about potential transmission standards for a nextgeneration broadcast platform (NGBP). The most promising standards are all based on orthogonal frequency division ...

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 ...

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 ...
