Software-defined radio and millimeter wave communication solutions for Beyond 5G (6G) Since the release of the AD9361 software-defined radio transceiver in 2013, Analog Devices has continued to develop successive generations of products, providing the market with the highest-performance semiconductor solutions that achieve the “high integration, low power consumption, wide bandwidth, and low latency” required of wireless infrastructure technology. At this seminar, we will introduce the latest software-defined radio technology for Beyond 5G (6G) that is currently being researched and developed, as well as semiconductor solutions for millimeter wave communications, and solutions for communication system developers provided by our alliance partners.

“Local 5G, Remote Environment, 28GHz Array Antenna SDR Platform”

AIDAX has developed a “Local 5G Base Station Test Kit” in collaboration with the Tokyo Metropolitan Industrial Technology Research Institute. We are currently working on building a “5G Testbed Environment” that can be used openly in a remote environment, and we hope that this will promote the development of local 5G use cases. In this session, we will introduce this remote-accessible 5G testbed environment.

In addition, we are developing a high-performance SDR platform that enables system-level evaluation of millimeter wave beamforming using the “28 GHz array antenna beamformer” that Analog Devices is currently developing. This SDR platform uses the AD9988 as the front end and the AMD Versal VCK190 as the FPGA, and we will also introduce a solution that enables advanced phased array beamforming to be controlled and evaluated using MATLAB.
