Rohde & Schwarz webinar: Unleashing 5G mm-waves – a test & measurement perspective

Published on Oct 17, 2014


In the past 12 months, research around 5G wireless communications has gained significant momentum. Aspects discussed include how to define the overall use cases and constituent technology elements in order to fulfill the anticipated demanding requirements. At present, neither frequencies nor bandwidths have been decided on, and it is still unclear as to what a potential new physical layer may look like. But it seems obvious that 5G will require, among other things, higher frequencies and bandwidths to accommodate the anticipated capacity. This poses a challenge for transceiver components such as filters, mixers and amplifiers. To design these components and later integrate them into an mm-wave transceiver, adequate test and measurement solutions are essential. This webinar discusses the associated test and measurement aspects and challenges that have been identified, and demonstrates initial measurement solutions.

What you will learn:
- Status of worldwide 5G research activities
- Requirements and technology options for 5G
- Challenges and available solutions from a test & measurement perspective

Published on Mar 23, 2016


Enhanced mobile broadband is a major topic in the ongoing 5G discussions, with peak data rates in the Gbit/s range and average user data rates of 100 Mbit/s.

Demystifying 5G – PAPR: Difference for 5G PHY layer concepts vs. LTE

Published on Jun 28, 2016


The peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) is a critical parameter for describing a waveform, such as OFDM. 5G waveform candidates, such as FBMC, UFMC and GFDM, are also OFDM-based. In this video we explore the PAPR for these waveforms and compare them to LTE, a fully standardized technology including scrambling and channel coding methods. FBMC, UFMC and GFDM are pure physical layer concepts and thus lack of a fully defined scrambling method. How this fact impacts the PAPR for the 5G waveform candidates is also analyzed.

Demystifying 5G and the evolution to massive MIMO for increased capacity and profit

Published on Mar 28, 2017


What is the motivation for 5G from an operator’s perspective? This webinar explores two critical technologies for evolving 4G into 5G: virtualization of the baseband processing and massive MIMO antenna arrays. Baseband virtualization can result in 50 % lower operating expenses (OPEX) for cellular operators while increasing network capacity by implementing enhanced coordinated multipoint (CoMP). Massive MIMO replaces existing separate radio units and passive antennas with an integrated transceiver plus antenna arrays to create an active antenna system with the coexistence of beamforming and MU-MIMO architectures. While both technologies are considered critical for 5G, they are already being developed for integration into existing TD-LTE networks. In this webinar, the challenges facing massive MIMO deployment and measurement will be briefly addressed, and over-the-air (OTA) measurements for 5G mmWave radio equipment based on Rohde & Schwarz benchtop OTA solutions will be demonstrated.

What you will learn:
- Massive MIMO concept, application and challenges

Final specifications on the 5G NR protocol stack are still ongoing and will be completed by March 2018 with Abstract Syntax Notification One (ASN.1). Further corrections and clarifications in the physical layer specifications can be expected during this timeframe as 3GPP members start implementation and discover potential areas of improvement. Initial 5G NR deployments will focus on a non-standalone (NSA) mode. In the next step, 3GPP will specify a standalone (SA) mode by mid-2018. This webinar provides an overview of the latest 5G NR physical layer specification, discusses the test challenges related to 5G and demonstrates practical test solutions. The webinar concludes with a look at the challenges involved in SA operation.
