5G technology has just come to the fore, but some technologies must go forward

5G technology has just emerged, and it has already set off a boom in the wireless industry. The industry is extremely excited to look forward to the arrival of the 5G era, and even a little nervous.

3GPP is accelerating the development of new wireless standards, and mobile operators are rapidly advancing their deployment plans. Mobile data demand has been growing rapidly, and new types of terminals (such as VR/AR helmets, connected autopilots, and cloud-based artificial intelligence home assistants) are taking advantage of the 5G fast track and are preparing to get from 5G technology. beneficial.

5G brings many opportunities, but the challenges are not expected. In order to unlock the commercial potential of 5G, chip and terminal engineers must overcome the major challenges in the evolution of technology: millimeter wave propagation and channel modeling, wideband calibration, complex antenna systems, beamforming, air interface measurements, to achieve peak data Protocol optimization, digital interface capabilities, battery life improvements, etc., implemented with throughput.

The combination of new technologies, traditional legacy technologies, mixed use of various use cases, and a wide range of carrier frequencies and bandwidths have brought even greater and complex challenges to the industry.

For success, cooperation is the only way

We are very happy to reveal a good news.

June this year

Qualcomm selected Keysight's 5G test solution

To help them accelerate the implementation of commercialization strategies

We will jointly test its 5G chip

(details here)

How does Keysight Technology gain the trust of industry giants? In addition to leveraging our extensive experience in aerospace and defense, millimeter wave and broadband applications, as well as the expertise accumulated in the first four generations of wireless communication standards, there are:

1

Provide the necessary tools on time. The most recent example is the 5G protocol development solution announced in May , the industry's first 5G protocol development tool that will help chip and terminal vendors accelerate next-generation mobile terminal prototyping. (details here)

2

Update tools to adjust the plan in real time. Just as we have been optimizing the update tool library after releasing the first 5G solution on SystemVue in 2015, the above 5G protocol development solution is only the beginning, we will continue to launch a series of network simulation solutions to fully meet the 5G mobile terminal design. The needs of the process.

3

Work closely with market leaders and agreement organizations to understand the nuances of their design needs.

Just as the original smartphones have found a variety of popular applications, in the face of smart and capable developers, the 5G business model problem will be well resolved. What we need to do is to prepare for these business ideas at the technical level, and we are excited to provide solutions to integrate the wireless terminal development process to help customers focus on reducing time to market and achieving cost efficiency.
