Episode 5, Digital beamforming from an operator perspective
How can operators benefit from digital beamforming? What is the capacity gain and why does it work so much better?
-
Episode 4, Drilling into digital beamforming
Drilling into the hart of the matter for BeammWave! Digital beamforming – to-be-or-not-to-be?
-
Episode 3, Stefan and Bengt discuss why beamforming won’t stay analog for ever
Everything goes digital, why would beamforming be the only technology that does not?
-
Episode 2, Stefan and Bengt discuss mmWave and beamforming
What is mmWave and how do you do beamforming?
-
Episode 1, Stefan and Bengt discuss why 5G is needed
Wouldn’t 4G be enough for me? Is 5G just a hype to get me to upgrade and spend more?

Digital BF the scalable Antenna Technology!
Traditionally when designing analog or hybrid beamforming solutions for mmWave the design has been targeting a single application. A certain antenna panel/array has been designed for a certain purpose, such as a handheld device, and if another mmWave transceiver architecture is needed for another application that needs more antennae, such as a fixed wireless access…

Digital Beamforming, the power efficient solution for mobile devices!
We have in our previous posts shown the advantages with digital beamforming over analog beamforming from a performance point of view. Then one may ask; why hasn’t digital beamforming in mobile devices happened yet? Well, if you ask people in the field, they will say that a digital approach has way to high power consumption…

mmWave Radio design for mobile devices
Chips today for consumer electronics are practically all done using a technology known as CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor, silica-based). However, for the high frequency parts in a radio transceiver which are present in all communication devices, another technology based on gallium compounds has been considered better suited in terms of high frequency performance. However,…

Did you know that a person picks up the smartphone 250 times a day?
The smartphone is in your pocket or on the table. Suddenly you hear a buzzing sound, you pick up the phone and check the chat message you received on your device. On average, a person does this procedure 250 times a day according to a recent study! This pick up the phone scenario is one…

In how many ways can you hold a smartphone?
Did you know that people typically check their smartphones over 250 times per day? 80% check their phone when they wake up, 70% use their phone when in the restrooms and 40% look at their phone when driving despite it being illegal in most countries. From such data one can understand that with more than…

mmWave affect the entire 3GPP standard
5G, as well as previous generations of cellular communication, relies on standardized communication protocols for the interactions between mobile terminal and the base station. With new and evolved features, and support of higher data rates, the complexity of the standards has increased for each new generation of mobile communication. Previous generations of cellular communication standards…
