Extending mmWave Measurements to 1.1 THz with the Tensor VNA
One of the featured videos demonstrates how the Tensor VNA simplifies mmWave measurements up to 1.1 THz through compatibility with leading third-party frequency extension heads. By eliminating the need for an additional test set, the solution helps streamline test setups while maintaining the flexibility required for advanced device characterization. This approach provides engineers with a practical way to address the challenges associated with next-generation high-frequency measurements.
Rethinking Pre-Deployment PoC in the Cloud Era
The newsletter also features the white paper “Beyond ‘It Should Work’: Rethinking Pre-Deployment PoC in the Cloud Era.” The white paper explores an important question: How can engineers be confident that a system will perform as expected after deployment? It highlights the limitations of traditional proof-of-concept testing, which may not reveal issues that emerge during real-world operation. The white paper presents a more realistic approach to validation, helping engineers reduce risk and make better-informed deployment decisions.
RF Measurements for Cellular IoT Technologies
Another featured video focuses on RF measurements for Cellular IoT technologies, including NB-IoT and Cat-M1 devices. The video discusses key RF measurement considerations and highlights power-saving technologies such as PSM and eDRX. It also demonstrates testing aligned with 3GPP requirements. These insights can help engineers involved in developing and bringing Cellular IoT products to market better understand the measurement considerations required for reliable device performance.
Solution Hub: Submarine Optical Networks
The newsletter also highlights Anritsu's Submarine Optical Network Testing solution hub. Submarine cables play a critical role in global communications infrastructure, carrying increasing volumes of data generated by cloud services, IoT, and AI applications. The solution hub brings together information about the technologies, challenges, and testing considerations involved in building and maintaining modern submarine optical networks. Key topics include: a. Fault localization b. Signal quality verification c. Evolving transmission architectures d. Technical resources, videos, and insights for professionals in the field
