R&S®TS9982 - Brochures and Data Sheets

Starting with the early microwave applications for radar, the advantage of increased bandwidth has been a deciding factor in shifting toward microwave and millimeterwave (mmWave) for communications technologies. It began with satellite transmissions and then came down to earth with cable television and wireless local area networks such as Wi-Fi followed by new applications in the automotive and aerospace fields. The high bandwidth and high capacity demand of 5G – the next generation of mobile networks – also promote the trend toward ever higher frequencies in electronics.
