In Part 1, we introduced the phased array concept, beam steering and array gain. In Part 2, we presented the concept of grating lobes and beam squint. In this section, we begin with a discussion of ...

Peter Delos, Technical Lead, Bob Broughton, Director of Engineering and Jon Kraft, Senior Staff Field Applications Engineer, all with Analog Devices. With the proliferation of digital phased arrays in ...

Evolving communication systems are driving developments in the RF/microwave industry. The large umbrella of 5G focuses on supporting three main technologies: enhanced mobile broadband, which is the ...

In a Micro Apps Pavilion presentation on the exhibit floor at IMS 2015, National Instruments (NI) presented a really insightful discussion entitled “Transceiver Module & Multi-Element Phased Array ...

Fujitsu Laboratories has unveiled a single-panel antenna designed to enable multiple 5G connections on a small, energy-efficient base station, saying it could be used across train stations and ...

This blog installment discusses common types of beamforming algorithms as well as a framework to develop and test your own beamformers. Phased-array systems have many advantages over single antennas.

In this article, I will cover various aspects of millimeter wave (mmW) beamforming and antenna technology with what I consider interesting and unique technical design examples. Beamforming networks ...

There is no way to cover all the important concepts of directional antennas in a single column. There have been many voluminous tomes written about this subject. This month we will look at some of the ...
