Editorial Report: From greenfield to brownfield: Open RAN in 2022 (With large scale carrier commitments in place, what’s next for the Open RAN ecosystem?)

Open RAN in 2020 was all about communicating the value proposition and gaining validation from major global operators. In 2021, with that validation in hand, the Open RAN ecosystem is pushing toward delivering on those benefits. Priorities include a broader pool of hardware support,...

What is a small cell, really?

Analog Devices: 'There have been a lot of different uses of the term small cell' Despite the current emphasis on small cells operating in higher 5G frequencies, this infrastructure is not actually limited, or defined, by frequency. In fact, 4G small cells operate in sub-3...

ADI Article: How to Make a Digital Pre-distortion Solution Practical and Relevant

According to much of the promotional material for digital pre-distortion (DPD), its performance is based on static quantitative data. Typically, this material shows a DPD spectrum and quotes adjacent channel leakage ratio (ACLR) figures. While this approach addresses fundamental needs, it fails to capture...
