High frequency solutions: how to manage the increasing data traffic in a finite RF spectrum.

It has been widely reported that the world’s limited natural resources are being depleted at an unsustainable rate – and enormous efforts are underway globally to develop new sustainable solutions. But one finite commodity that is rarely talked about – but is increasingly central to the way we live today – is radio frequency (RF) spectrum.

The functioning of almost all parts of society and industry depends on signals transmitted by radio waves at microwave (MW) and millimeter waves (mmWave) frequencies. Demand for wireless broadband access is growing exponentially, with the number of 5G subscriptions set to exceed 1 billion by the end of 2022. By the end of 2027, 5G subscriptions are projected to reach 4.4 billion. By 2022, the average monthly usage per smartphone is expected to exceed 15 GB.

Advice to the new generation of engineers

Advice to the Next Generation of Engineers

Engineering matters, we know, but why? Some might assume that engineering is about building infrastructure, and that’s partially true. But engineers are much more than builders. Engineers are visionaries who ask the world questions and answer them with technology. Engineers have a hand in designing the world we live in, how it moves, grows, and changes. Ultimately, engineers solve problems, striving to answer the old and recurring question: “Can we do this?”

Introducing the APMSYN40: RF Synthesizer Module – 1 MHz to 40 GHz.

The frequency synthesizer has a frequency range of 1 MHz to 40 GHz, a switching time of approximately 50 μs, and an output power range of -30 to +25 dBm. SSB phase noise at 20 kHz offset from a 1 GHz carrier is -142 dBc/ Hz, with a 10 GHz carrier, it is -125 dBc/ Hz. The resolution is 1 mHz for frequency, 0.1° for phase, and 0.5 dB for power. Frequency accuracy is calibrated to 30 ppb and temperature stability 100 ppb over the operating temperature range of 0 to 50°C.

Several of the APMSYN40 modules can be connected together using a common 1 GHz reference base to generate multi-channel phase coherent signal sources.

The first OPEN RAN antenna test center in Europe opens its doors in March 2023.

Amphenol Antenna Solutions, a leading provider of wireless infrastructure for mobile networks, opens Europe’s first test center for Open RAN active antennas. The facilities, which feature a state-of-the-art MVG SG Evo measurement system, will allow European network operators to validate the interoperability and performance of Open RAN hardware and software and find the best configuration for their needs.

Operators will be able to compare antennas from different manufacturers, view 3D radiation patterns, check backbone compatibility, perform end-to-end over-the-air testing, and view traffic volume handled and electricity consumed. The center will also allow operators to understand the impact of changing a system component and perform tests to diagnose and resolve problems in the field.

Is sharing antennas an option for you?

 

The difficulties of acquiring new antenna sites as demand for capacity increases are increasing for most mobile network operators, and in some cases the optimal solution is to share a base station antenna among several operators.

 

With the TwinLine product range, Amphenol pioneered the ability to share one antenna between two operators 10 years ago.

Now they are pioneers again, creating a new platform that allows it to be shared between three operators:

  • 3 independent low band columns.
  • 6 independent columns of medium band.
  • Modular design allows for future upgrades (Integra compatibility).
