About the session

Multiband RF frontends and beamforming for high frequency applications in radar, satcom and mobile wireless ask for unseen integration all the way to AiP (antenna in package). This session gives an overview of latest technologies and requirements.

We will focus on the key components to get from digital to RF for different applications, but with a focus on 5G systems. Beamforming is the biggest challenge today, and we’ll look at different implementations. And as RF frontends are becoming highly integrated into active antenna systems (AAS), we’ll round up the session discussing OTA Testing to digital standards.

How test & measurement is helping to address the latest trends will be discussed as a resulting necessity.
