MICROWAVES AND THE HAVANA SYNDROME The National Academy of Sciences recently released its conclusions about what sickened dozens of American Embassy diplomats in Cuba, a phenomenon dubbed the Havana Syndrome. Though the panel reached no definitive conclusion, it found pulsed RF (a.k.a. directed microwave energy) was the most likely cause. Panel members could not rule…

Deploy and maintain an Open RAN network
Open radio access networks offer advantages in locating network functions of proprietary RANs. Automation and orchestration let telecom networks do what computing networks have done for years.
Our first 5G handbook awaits you
5G Technology World and EE World present our first 5G handbook, digital edition.
DSS lets 5G and LTE share spectrum
Dynamic spectrum sharing of 5G and LTE networks addresses the need for spectrum, particularly at mid-band frequencies. Here’s how it works.
May 2021 Special Edition: 5G Handbook
WELCOME TO OUR FIRST 5G HANDBOOK 5G is more than another wireless technology. It’s changed the radio, the access network, the spectrum, and the network core. It might even change our lives. That’s why EE World created 5G Technology World. We cover 5G technologies on engineering terms. The site launched in January 2020, just as…

Simulate, test, and verify to solve 5G RF design problems
Performing these three steps can improve mmWave and beamforming performance.
Size, weight, power, and heat affect 5G base station designs
Engineers designing 5G base stations must contend with energy use, weight, size, and heat, which impact design decisions.
The challenges of building a 5G base station
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. Looking at 5G’s technical challenges, we see the frequencies and spectrum supported now include a sub-6 GHz range, FR1, with bandwidths…
