System-Level Simulation Of Technologies Supporting Enhanced Spectral Efficiency For 5G New Radio


By Gent Paparisto, Joel Kirshman, and David Vye 5G New Radio (5G NR) is the wireless standard defining the next generation of mobile networks. 5G will offer higher capacity than current 4G, enabling a higher density of mobile broadband users and supporting device-to-device and massive-machine communications. 5G research and development will support lower latency, improved reliability, and... » read more

5G Makes Its Public Debut At The Winter Games


We have been spending considerable time and effort with our customers deep in the development of technology that will enable next-generation communications. Work on 5G technology has been underway for several years now-long before the general public will experience its amazing capabilities. So when will this next-generation technology be ready? You'll get a first look next month at the Winte... » read more

How To Deal With The Flood Of Analog Data


Analog data from a variety of sensors and other devices is a huge problem. Here are three approaches to overcoming the problems that big analog data can cause. Approach 1: Analyze at the Edge A lot of data can be collected at the point of capture, but most of it’s uninteresting. You can save and analyze it all or you can take advantage of intelligent embedded software that constantly meas... » read more

Meanwhile, Back In Barcelona…


We recently wrapped up another successful IoT Solutions World Congress (IoTSWC), hosted by the Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC) in Barcelona. We’ve been participating in the Congress since its inception three years ago, and this year was particularly exciting given the Catalonia Independence Referendum happening at the same time. Even with this as a backdrop, the event attracted 50 percen... » read more

Tips For Research Grants


One of the challenges in academic research is to find ways to accelerate innovation and bring new technologies to market faster for broader use and for benefiting society. In fact, only a small fraction of the research performed in academic institutions successfully leaves the labs and reaches the marketplace. Some of the known causes for this include product-market mismatch, limited funding, a... » read more

Women In Engineering


While I’ve been involved in Women In Microwaves for many years now, beginning in 2011 with my chairmanship of what was then only a WIM social hour at IMS, until this year I had never participated in the WIM panel sessions that were expanded from the social hour starting several years ago. In Hawaii this year that changed when I was invited to join in the 2017 WIM panel, “Inspiring the Next ... » read more

Developing A Life-Saving Innovation


This competition is part of a partnership between NI, Arizona State University (ASU) and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) focused on scaling and delivering industry-ready skills to thousands of future engineers across Vietnam. Ideas that come from the lab will be just ideas if you cannot bring that knowledge to the community. Our idea is driven by the reality o... » read more

Getting Ready For 5G


Evolving communication systems are driving developments in the RF/microwave industry. The big umbrella of 5G focuses on supporting three main technologies: 1. Enhanced mobile broadband, which is the natural development of LTE; 2. Massive machine-type communications, also known as the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), and 3. Ultra-reliable, low-latency communications providing mission-cri... » read more

ATO 2017: Driven by Necessity


In the aerospace and defense industry, reducing release cycles and preventing program delays have become increasingly difficult. In automotive, consumer demands are driving up test complexity and introducing new costs in areas like infotainment. In response, test managers must find affordable ways to incorporate RF testing for wireless signals and machine vision testing for assisted parking to ... » read more

Our New Space For Innovation And Collaboration


Today is an exciting day at our Austin headquarters: this morning we officially opened our Industrial IoT (Internet of Things) Lab! You can watch the ribbon cutting ceremony on our Facebook page. Our Industrial IoT Lab is a hub of intelligent systems that bridge operational technology (OT) with information technology (IT) and the companies working on them. We’ve purposefully design... » read more
