System-in-package technologies are making a significant impact on the electronics supply chain as the semiconductor industry strives to meet the perpetual demand for higher performance, smaller size, and lower cost. Learn how automated test strategies must evolve to keep pace.

5G innovation doesn’t stop at design. Test and measurement solutions will be key in the commercialization cycle, but 5G requires a different approach to test than previous wireless technologies. Find out what it’s going to take to make 5G a reality.

The upcoming IEEE 802.11ax High-Efficiency Wireless (HEW) standard promises to deliver four times greater data throughput per user. It relies on multiuser technologies to make better use of the available Wi-Fi channels and serve more devices in dense user environments. Explore this introductory technology white...

Everywhere you look today, 5G is at the center of conversations about exciting new technology. Recent announcements from Mobile World Congress 2017 in late February indicate that 5G is already here. The truth is that 5G isn’t here yet, but we are getting closer....

Engineering challenges abound in 5G testing and trials AT&T has been testing a variety of technologies as it moves toward gigabit Long Term Evolution and 5G. In June, the carrier announced the results of License Assisted Access testing that it conducted in San Francisco as...

Researchers at CATT and NYU Wireless have built the world’s first wireless emulator suitable for 5G systems that feature massive bandwidths and hundreds of antenna elements. In this unique patented design, the solution emulates not only the wireless channel, but also the beamformers (or...

  The most effective wireless researchers have something in common: they understand the complexity of looking at standards, what their competitors are doing, and how-to work towards 5G development for their organization. Our complete guide will provide an overview and update covering: PHY and MAC layers...

P3 Communications is doubling its interference hunting team P3 Communications plans to double the size of its interference hunting team over the next year and expand the geographic areas in which it operates, to help operators deal with an increasingly complex radio frequency environment. Michael Schwab,...

The commercialization of 5G technology and use cases won't be like turning on a light, rather it will be a more gradual, phased approach. Early consensus suggests the first wave of 5G deployments may center around ultra-high-speed fixed broadband. Learn about the trials and...

The evolving 5G standard is bringing companies from many parts of the wireless ecosystem together to create new hardware and software. Austin, Texas is a nexus of 5G research not only becuase of AT&T's work with Intel and Ericsson, but also because of National...

This white paper features key, yet-to-be published Massive MIMO topics and how a testbed can be used to accelerate wireless research by enabling the validation of simulated results through rapid prototyping.

Manufacturing industries will lead investment in the internet of things, according to the analysts at IDC, followed by transportation and utilities. Cross-Industry IoT investments in technologies such as connected vehicles and smart buildings are projected to total $86 billion this year, second only to...

New business models and lower costs per gigabit are goals for wireless carriers as the industry charges toward the next generation of wireless technology. But the carriers don't all see 5G the same way, and they don't all have the same priorities. As...

The internet of things is distributing intelligence to the network edge, and that means test and measurement solutions must also migrate to the edge. National Instruments is working to solve the synchronization and systems management challenges created by the distributed nature of IoT compute...

National Instruments has launched LabVIEW NXG, a new version of its 30-year-old LabVIEW software. At the same time, the company has introduced LabVIEW 2017 and says it will continue to invest in both product lines.

5G is not yet standardized, but wireless carriers know that if they wait to invest they will fall behind. AT&T is already building the systems it will use to test its future 5G networks. Meanwhile, engineers at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency have...

"Porcupine" 5G channel sounder characterizes millimeter-wave frequencies. National Instruments and AT&T said they have developed a proprietary channel sounder for characterizing the millimeter-wave frequencies that are expected to pay a primary role in "5G" wireless systems. Channel sounders are used to explore the characteristics of...
