09.01.22 -- Keysight Announces New Device Modeling Software To Enable One-Stop Workflow

Over the next few years, the global transition to 5G will expand in scope to cover many more applications. 5G Reduced Capability (RedCap) is a key step in this evolution.

This article describes the modeling of a SATCOM link, specifically citing a use case wherein a satellite overlay extends service continuity to IoT devices in a poorly covered rural area.

The heterodyne receiver has been the standard receiver option of choice for decades. In recent years, the rapid advance of analog-to-digital converter (ADC) sampling rates, the inclusion of embedded digital processing, and the integration of matched channels now offers options for the receiver architect that were not practical only a few years ago.

This white paper examines state-of-the-art spectrum analysis and describes how modern spectrum analyzers are designed and how they work with a brief characterization of today's signal generators.

To meet 3GPP specifications, a 5G New Radio (NR) implementation must meet demanding processing requirements and RF capabilities. Compared to LTE, this results in a need for higher performing, more flexible 5G NR hardware.
