As 5G continues to take center stage in the enterprise IOT and consumer markets, the wireless industry continues to develop the required test and measurement capabilities for the latest technologies to ensure that these products perform as intended. While considerable progress has been made, various industry organizations are still working on new test plans and test requirements that will be implemented throughout the industry. For example, current wireless networks are relying on much more integrated end-to-end (E2E) system architecture than ever before. The base stations (gNB) and the user equipment (UE) must understand how the RF environment is constantly changing around them and they must be able to make decisions in a fraction of a second in order to maintain connectivity with the network. All this must be done while maintaining the adequate bi-directional data throughput with the network.
The presentations in this workshop will provide examples of the need for established industry metrics and test scenarios not only on the chip and module level, but for full scale implementation of a real life network in order to help designers to build fast and reliable networks for modern day requirements. Attendees at the workshop will learn about solutions to address the challenges generated by the 5G New Radio and mmWave applications through system planning and innovative wireless performance verification testing methodologies. Attendees will also appreciate learning about the art of RF and microwave power measurements to unlock the full potential of wireless technology.
