5G has now become a familiar term to most people through its rollout into the smartphone market. However, what most people do not know is that 5G New Radio (NR) encompasses a broad spectrum of new technologies, applications, and yes, spectrum that will revolutionize multiple industries. This eBook has been developed to provide an accessible introduction to 5G NR for engineers and technologists.
As the more advanced aspects of 5G are rolled out, they will take advantage of the wider bandwidths, reduced latency, and smaller antennas available in millimeter wave systems. However, engineers will also need to cope with the many challenges including increased free space loss, diffuse reflections, and limited penetration.
