Anritsu says time to prepare for 5G production
Anritsu is targeting development and commercial production of 5G mobile communications systems with a mid-range signal analyser offering 1GHz analysis bandwidth. The MS2850A has software for the evaluation of 5G multi-carrier signals. This is supported in hardware by a typical 800MHz modulation bandwidth which will be used in 5G (e.g. eight 100MHz bandwidth carriers). Anritsu says that, “with many operators ...
Rohm aims artificial intelligence chip at factory automation
Rohm and Singapore’s Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*Star) are to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) chip for predictive maintenance in smart factories. The aim is to predict machine failures in by analysing information from sensors in real-time. “AI is becoming a key enabler for predictive maintenance and performance improvement, because of its cognitive abilities such as learning, reasoning ...
ADI 6GHz radio platform leads way to 5G
Analog Devices is addressing the migration of 4G mobile radio design to pre-massive MIMO systems through is wireless basestation development platform called RadioVerse. Additions to RadioVerse now include a new focus on lower power radio development with new radio transceiver hardware and software tools. According to ADI, this will support the development of radio designs for 4G small cell and ...

Driverless car security in a safety-critical world
Operating self-driving cars in a single software environment exposes all software to any cyber attack surface. A more sensible solution is to use a hypervisor to host multiple virtual machines on one processor, writes Chris Barlow The security of automotive systems goes hand-in-hand with functional safety gas defined in ISO 26262. But cybersecurity presents a different challenge. New cyber vulnerabilities ...
