"In a nutshell, 5G Broadcast makes it possible to deliver high-bandwidth content to a massive audience concurrently without compromising network performance." The whole 5G scheme is to have the capacity to completely replace wired communications with wireless. That involves two-way data transfers in the Gbps realm. My cable Internet connection is providing a download speed of 590 Mbps and upload of 25 Mbps (upload speeds are severely throttled for some reason), per SpeedTest.net. Using a cellphone as a mobile hotspot, I get around 22 Mbps down and 12 Mbps up. Those numbers are dependent upon when you happen to measure it, but I know they are typical of what I see. That represents a wired connection 22x faster than wireless, but then my Galaxy S7 is not the best platform to measure wireless performance. Finally, with 5G, people can watch an 8K UHD feature length movie on their phones while sitting in the stands at a ball game or in a movie theater...

Axiom Blog: Calibrating the Way to Process Control

Axiom Test Equipment Blog: Calibrating the Way to Process Control - RF CafeAxiom Test Equipment, an electronic test equipment rental and sales company has published a new blog post that covers the way calibrators offer the precision needed to evaluate in-process testers and how they can securely deliver test results to a control center to effectively manage an industrial process. For effective process test equipment calibration, a calibrator must be a source of precisely controlled parameters as well as a highly accurate measuring tool for evaluating the same parameters. A calibrator must often inject a parameter, such as voltage, current, pressure, or temperature, into the process equipment under test to determine the condition of the equipment. Traditionally, data transfers to and from a calibrator were handled by dedicated communications equipment. But growing demand for mobility and portability in calibrators capable of in-field use has resulted in calibrators and communicators often within the same package. When equipped with suitable communications interfaces, such as Ethernet or Bluetooth, calibrator/communication devices can quickly and seamlessly make their connections to the process equipment to be tested as well as to a control center...

Anatech Electronics February 2024 Newsletter

Anatech Electronics February 2024 Newsletter - RF CafeSam Benzacar of Anatech Electronics, an RF and microwave filter company, has published his February 2024 newsletter that, along with timely news items, features his short op−ed entitled "Satellites Join Terrestrial 5G," in which he summarizes the state of the art for satellite direct to cell[phone] (DTC) communications. The massive satellite constellations that are beginning to clutter the night sky (and the day sky, but that doesn't matter much to visible light astronomers) have orbits low enough to make signal travel time latency negligible compared to the quarter second or so for geostationary satellites. LEO satellites be at around 330 miles above sea level and geostationary be at around 22,236 miles, so LEO latency is roughly 2% that of geosynchronous. Of course the latency also depends on how far from the phone's zenith the satellite lies. While data rates for the mini Earth stations with a parabolic dish are in the neighborhood of 10-20 Mbps, for a cellphone the rates are good enough for text messaging (SMS), but that's about it. It's considered by many to be an emergency mode at this point in DTC communications...

Anatech Electronics January 2024 Newsletter

Anatech Electronics January 2024 Newsletter - RF CafeSam Benzacar of Anatech Electronics, an RF and microwave filter company, has published his January 2024 newsletter that, along with timely news items, features his short op−ed entitled "Shadow Warriors: Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Reshape the Battlefield." In it, he discusses how drones (aka Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) are rapidly replacing human presence in war fighting. These semiautonomous surveillance and/or weapons delivery platforms are at the leading edge of technology, and unlike their flesh and blood counterparts, have no conscience or fear. Sort of like with the V−1 Buzz Bombs that the Nazis sent to rain down indiscriminate terror on London during the early days of World War II, these UAVs do not provide much advance notice. These large drones have noisy internal combustion or jet engines that can at least be heard a short ways off. I wonder whether any of the highly classified system elements from RQ-170 UAV that the Iranians hijacked in 2011 were incorporated into the drone that just killed three American soldiers and wounded many others? I still don't know why we didn't bomb the @(%^(@$ out of them at the time. Instead, we delivered >$400M in cash...

Temperature Chambers Mimic Real-World Conditions

Temperature Chambers Mimic Real-World Conditions - RF CafeAxiom Test Equipment, an electronic test equipment rental and sales company has published a new blog post that covers how changing temperatures affects electronic performance and how practical temperature testing often relies upon having a temperature chamber capable of changing a wide range of temperatures. Electronic products are designed for use within specific temperature ranges, according to application, such as aerospace, automotive, commercial, industrial, medical, and military systems. Temperature chambers provide the means of controlling temperatures during testing; and a good chamber can adjust temperatures over a wide range and within a tight tolerance. Temperature chambers can be sorted by size, weight, and temperature. Smaller units are ideal for local use, next to a workbench, although the size of their environmental chambers will limit the size and type of DUT. Larger temperature chambers do not have the same placement flexibility, but they can handle larger and more DUTs. Temperature chambers have two key sets of dimensions...

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling 2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps while tying up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail" when a new message arrived...
