Keysight Technologies has announced its collaboration with the University of Bristol on 5G millimeter-wave research. The two organizations are already deeply involved in the 5G ecosystem in Europe and the U.S. and now will be working closely together on multiple 5G millimeter-wave technologies.
The pursuit of more bandwidth for faster digital wireless communications has pushed the research community to explore how to use much higher frequencies for commercial mobile multiple-access performance. The collaboration combines Bristol’s leading-edge wireless research with Keysight’s deep experience and capability in millimeter-wave and ultra-broadband simulation, design, test and measurement. The work will contribute to the development of the new capabilities needed for 5G and at the same time enable a richer mutual learning environment for Keysight and the researchers at the University of Bristol.
Among other specific areas of research, the two organizations will combine their capabilities in millimeter-wave radio channel measurements and simulation to understand the nuances of these frequencies for use in communications. The test environment will combine Keysight’s millimeter-wave channel sounding hardware and software with the University of Bristol’s advanced antenna and ray-tracing technologies. The collaboration with the University of Bristol represents another example of Keysight’s continued commitment to support industry and academic leaders in the work to make 5G wireless a reality.
