  • Exploring Current Test And Measurement Trends And Innovations

    The test and measurement industry is evolving, driven by technologies like Industry 4.0, AI, and ML, all providing a competitive edge.

  • I’ll See Your Autonomous Vehicle And Raise You An Autonomous Train

    Autonomous trains are used in various settings, including urban transit systems, metro and subway networks, freight transportation, and high-speed rail. They offer the potential to enhance the reliability and safety of train travel.

  • It’s No Secret, Q-Day Is Coming

    Q-Day poses a threat to infrastructure such as water, energy, electricity, health, safety, security, and national defense. The encryption schemes most susceptible to quantum attacks are those that rely on large prime numbers – or nearly all digital communication systems.

  • Wi-Fi 7: Start Me Up

    Soon to be all the rage, Wi-Fi 7 is coming and I ain’t too proud to beg that it happens soon. I won’t get angry or full of doom and gloom waiting for that day because time is on my side. But until certification day comes, I’ll shine a light on this new Wi-Fi standard and come to your emotional rescue.

  • Matter And Qorvo Provide Designers With A Game-Changing Boost

    Discover the impact of Matter's standardization and Qorvo's technological solutions in simplifying IoT devices and streamlining system design for a user-friendly and efficient smart home experience.

  • What You Need To Know To Thrive in 2024

    ​Three things to look for as we roll into 2024. We walk like Egyptians, play Nostradamus, and try to beat The Simpsons to the punch. But mostly, we look at quantum, directed RF, and Wi-Fi 7.

IOT WHITE PAPERS, APPLICATION NOTES, CASE STUDIES, & BROCHURES

  • Matter is a universal software layer, a foundation for connected things and their application, will act as the universal IoT standard compatible with various protocols deployed in our homes today. With Matter, all ecosystem manufacturers can make it easier for product developers to innovate because the interoperability function is taken care of.

  • The number of connected devices in our homes continues to rise, and each device can be held to a different wireless standard. Qorvo explains how to manage multiple traffic standards within a connected home to keep communications between devices fast, efficient, scalable, and able to receive more data. 

  • Over-the-air (OTA) testing, something not historically possible with past generations of wireless devices, has the potential to revolutionize wireless device testing while enabling innovative testing of both advanced antenna systems (AAS) and antenna array technology.

  • Led by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), multiple portions of the spectrum ranging from the C band to the V band were either opened or auctioned to new uses throughout the year. These changes drive a variety of new opportunities for wireless device manufacturers and broadband and cellular carriers. These new opportunities result in a range of fresh challenges for RF technology vendors to help solve. 

  • Used in communications, radar sensors, and IoT, ultrawideband (UWB) technology uses an extremely high bandwidth of 500 MHz or more. The ETSI standard requires a resolution bandwidth of 50 MHz. This application note explains technical reasons for the bandwidth limitation and presents solutions for regulative UWB testing using the R&S®ESW. 

  • There’s a new standard in town and its name is CHIP – Connected Home Over the Internet Protocol. It aims to elevate consumers’ smart home experiences by making products more compatible. Up until now, we’ve had a range of protocols – Wi-Fi, Zigbee, Bluetooth® Low Energy, Thread, etc. This article provides a brief introduction to this standard. 

  • The SKY66430-11 is a multi-band multi-chip System-in-Package (SiP) supporting cellular LTE-M/NB-IoT platforms for use in wearables, alarm systems, security cameras, industrial monitoring devices, and low-power IoT devices. The SiP integrates the entire RF front end, transceiver, power management, memory, and baseband modem for an LTE multi-band radio operating in the 700 to 2200 MHz frequency range.

  • As the Internet of Things (IoT) continues to grow and change the way consumers manage information in the environment, Skyworks has worked to expand its wireless connectivity product portfolio for the needs of every emerging market. These markets include automotive, connected home, industrial, machine-to-machine (M2M), medical, mobile devices, smart energy, and wearable technologies. This brochure provides a brief overview on Skyworks’ new and featured products for each market.
