5G Wireless Communications
The next major step in mobile communications beyond LTE/LTE-Advanced (4G) sets challenging requirements.Researchers all around the world are investigating possible concepts and technologies for the fifth generation of mobile networks (5G). Many use cases have been summarized in various white papers and reveal challenging requirements. The possible technologies and concepts under discussion to meet these requirements are quite diverse. Beyond doubt there is a need to improve the understanding of potential new air interfaces at frequencies above current cellular network technologies, from 6 GHz right up to 100 GHz, as well as advanced antenna technologies such as massive MIMO and beamforming.
Rohde & Schwarz, a world leader in all areas of RF and microwave test and measurement equipment and massively involved in mobile radio since the first generation, is committed to supporting the wireless communications industry with the solutions needed to investigate, develop and standardize 5G.
Solutions for

5G Wideband Signal Generation and Signal Analysis
