TowerJazz and The University of California, San Diego (UCSD) demonstrated >12 Gbps from a 5G phased-array chipset operating from 28 to 31 GHz. The chipset was fabricated with the TowerJazz H3 SiGe BiCMOS process.
At the 2017 Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Qorvo's mobile products business announced two new RF front-end modules for mid-tier phones, four design wins in a "gigabit" smartphone and "the industry's first" 5G RF front-end.
Keysight Technologies Inc. and Samsung Electronics Corp. announced a technology collaboration on 5G development and testing. Keysight and Samsung have entered into a technology collaboration to enable design and deployment of 5G devices to support early operator trials. The initial focus of the partnership is on 5GTF specifications (www.5gtf.org). Future collaboration will include work being done in 3GPP NR.
22 mobile communications companies announced collective support for accelerating the 5G new radio (NR) standardization schedule to enable large-scale trials and deployments as early as 2019. The firms are supporting a proposal to be discussed at the next 3GPP RAN plenary meeting, scheduled for March 6-9 in Dubrovnik, Croatia.
The quest for highly efficient 5G wireless connectivity has been given a boost thanks to a collaboration between a team of 5G engineers from the Universities of Bristol and Lund, National Instruments (NI), and BT Labs, one of the world’s leading providers of communications services. The research team has undertaken field trials of a massive MIMO system at the BT Labs in Adastral Park, Suffolk. The trials were conducted in a large indoor hall mimicking a stadium environment and outdoors within the Adastral Park campus.
According to Viavi Solutions 25 operators have announced "5G" lab tests, and 12 report field testing. Five have demonstrated data rates of 35 Gbps or more in the lab, with the UAE's Etisalat claiming the highest speed of 36 Gbps. 28 GHz is the most widely used spectrum for the tests, based on eight operators that have disclosed operating at this frequency. Seven operators are using 15 GHz.
MaxLinear Inc. announced the MxL1105, a broadband microwave transceiver that supports all licensed and unlicensed bands from 5 to 44 GHz, including all ETSI-defined channel spacing options from 5 to 224 MHz. It handles all QAM modulation code rates up to 4096 QAM.
GLOBALFOUNDRIES announced the availability of its 45nm RF SOI (45RFSOI) technology offering, making GF the first foundry to announce an advanced, 300 mm RF silicon solution to support next generation millimeter-wave (mmWave) beam forming applications in future 5G base stations and smartphones.
