Four-port switch lets you connect antennas to radios and test equipment
Signal Hound announced the addition of the RFS44 to its expanding product line. This powerful, ultra-fast antenna switch is in stock and available to Order Now. The RFS44 is a single pole four-throw (SP4T) absorptive solid state switch. Using silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology, the RFS44 provides RF switching across four ports at up to 44 GHz.…
How to select an IoT device antenna
When designing wireless connectivity into IoT devices, you have several options for antennas. You can design one right into a PCB, but several commercial options take the work out of designing your own.
Report indicates 5G-Advanced forms the foundation for 6G
As 5G-Advanced evolves and transitions to 6G, standards and pre-standards bodies have begun to align on the new features and enhanced capabilities that will define the next generation of wireless. A new report commissioned by InterDigital, Inc. introduces the enhancements to 5G capabilities and the novel features of integrated sensing and communication, native AI, and…
How GaN PAs in 5G radios push test requirements
Proper PA development, validation, and characterization are important because a PA often accounts for a significant portion of a transmitting device's power consumption.
