Abstract:
The current rollout of 5G has focused on enhanced mobile communications, but the vision and potential of 5G goes well beyond this. Core features of 5G technology over that of 4G include greatly expanded bandwidth, ultra-reliability, low latency, and increased density. 5G technology will be transformative, impacting transportation, healthcare, IoT, manufacturing, education, and agriculture, among other aspects of society and daily life. This presentation will provide a birds-eye view of 5G technology, potential applications, and challenges. Fast and accurate 5G OTA MIMO measurements for ensuring performance of devices and systems, as well as facilitating engineering design, will then be discussed in detail. Applications in this presentation will include mobile broadband devices and autonomous vehicles.
Speaker Biography:
Jim Drewniak received B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He was a Curator’s Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering with the Electromagnetic Compatibility Laboratory in the Electrical Engineering Department at the Missouri University of Science and Technology where he is currently an Emeritus Professor. His research and teaching interests focused on electromagnetic compatibility in high-speed digital and mixed-signal designs, signal and power integrity, electronic packaging, and measurements for EMC/RFI. He is a Fellow of the IEEE and recipient of the IEEE EMC Society’s 2013 Richard R. Stoddart Award. He has taught short courses widely for industry on signal and power integrity as well as EMI.
