Keysight Technologies has announced sponsorship of the B4G MIMO Lab - This lab is part of National Taiwan University’s (NTU) High-Speed Radio Frequency and mmWave Center. The lab is one of the projects at the center aiming to develop key components used in Beyond 4G and 5G mobile communication systems.
With 5G becoming a critical component for addressing the increasing mobile internet usage, the Taiwan government is supporting academia to develop the future of this standard. The Taiwan government has called upon NTU, a top ranked university, to 1) set up the High-Speed Radio Frequency and mmWave Center, 2) perform advanced research and 3) further assist the local industries.
Keysight donated a 4x4 MIMO measurement system the center to develop the key components used in next-generation communication system, such as CMOS-based MMIC’s, LTCC-based SiP, smart antenna and PA front-end modules. Several local industrial companies have agreed to commercialize the technologies developed in this lab.
The B4G/5G Technology Forum was held on the same day as the center’s grand opening. Keysight and other industrial partners delivered presentations on a variety of 5G related topics and solutions. Keysight’s test solutions included:
- 5G design and simulation environment.
- Power Amplifier Reference Solution with envelope tracking and digital pre-distortion.
- 4x4 MIMO measurement system.
- Multi-antenna Calibration Reference Solution for phased-array antennas.
- E-Band signal generation and analysis system.
The collaboration of Keysight and NTU on 5G is should help speed up this next-generation technology development.
