Mixers are a fundamental component of wireless communications, and their design constraints become increasingly stringent with the demands of next-generation systems such as 5G and 6G. To meet these requirements, RF designers must optimize networks to support ever-increasing data rates while addressing challenges such as signal losses at millimeter-wave frequencies and the noise susceptibility ...» read more
6G is expected to bring data speeds that enable highly integrated and responsive technology in smartphones, homes, cities, and autonomous vehicles, but realizing that goal will require a lot more work.There will be many more antennas everywhere, embedded in infrastructure around town, in base stations, edge-devices, and everything in between. They will be sending and receiving many more sig...» read more
6G will open the door to ultra-reliable, low-latency communications, extended broadband, and machine communications, but its rapid signal attenuation places some sharp limits on where and how it can be used, and requires some expensive options to overcome those limitations.Applications include lifelike virtual reality for home and work use, highly interactive smart homes and cities, and aut...» read more

It marks a departure from legacy 4G LTE and 5G Non-Standalone (NSA) models, offering enhanced flexibility and scalability to support diverse use cases through features like network slicing and rapid service innovation.However, this ...» read more
As the demand for faster and more affordable mobile connectivity grows, so does the challenge of ensuring that networks can keep up – both in performance and profitability.A new technical paper titled " Hierarchical Feature-based Time Series Clustering Approach for Data-driven Capacity Planning of Cellular Networks" features a multi-level, explainable clustering framework that analyzes ...» read more
Mobile data traffic continues to grow. Constant video streaming is on the rise in applications like TikTok, Netflix, and Instagram, while emerging AI-enhanced mobile apps are set to further boost data consumption by offering highly personalized experiences and advanced features like augmented reality and voice processing in real-time. Ericsson estimates that mobile data traffic, excluding fixed...» read more
6G is expected to begin rolling out in 2030, but advances in 5G will inch cellular technology close enough that it will make the first 6G implementations seem more like just another upgrade. That's just the starting point, though. 6G technology gets much more interesting from there, connecting more devices at a significantly higher data rate, and enabling services that would be unattractive to ...» read more
A new technical paper titled "Towards a Base-Station-on-Chip: RISC-V Hardware Acceleration for wireless communication" was published by researchers at TU Dresden and Centre for Tactile Internet with Human-in-the-Loop (CeTI).Abstract"The evolution of 5G and the emergence of 6G wireless communication systems impose higher demands for computing capabilities and lower power consumption in the...» read more
Advanced packaging is transforming semiconductor manufacturing into a multi-dimensional challenge, blending 2D front-end wafer fabrication with 2.5D/3D assemblies, high-frequency device characterization, and complex yield optimization strategies.These combinations are essential to improving performance and functionality, but they create some thorny issues for which there are no easy fixes. ...» read more
The wireless industry evolves constantly; GSMA estimates that mobile technologies and services generated 5% of the global GDP in 2022, which equates to $5.2 trillion of economic value. In parallel, more than 5.4 billion people subscribed to a mobile service, with 4.4 billion connected to the mobile internet. These numbers are impressive, but there is much more to come. 5G networks promise exp...» read more
Workflows and the addition of new capabilities are happening much faster than with previous technologies, and new grads may be vital in that transition.
