5G NR, Connected Cars, PA Design Playing Now
RF to mmWave Front-End Component Design
for 5G NR
The RF to mmWave Front-End Component Design for 5G NR webinar
looks at some of the design challenges in developing high-frequency
components that support 5G NR communications - from beam-steering
antenna arrays to mmWave MMIC PAs using gallium-nitride (GaN)
semiconductor technology. Presenter David Vye overviews typical 5G NR
system requirements and discusses how these requirements impact
component performance specifications and physical implementation.
Several case studies are presented in which designers overcame design
and integration challenges using RF/mmWave simulation software.
RF/MW Design in the Era of Connected Cars
The Connected Cars webinar highlights wireless communications and
mmWave radar systems that will enable next-generation vehicles with a
host of functions, ranging from safety and navigation features to
infotainment and remote entry/control. Noted EM technologist Dr. John
Dunn highlights the specialized simulation/measurements, high-fre-
quency device models, and design automation features in the AWR
Design Environment platform that enable engineers to develop these
high-frequency, automotive-centric components and systems.
