5G research spans the gamut from algorithm development to carrier-acceptance test and has implications for products ranging from integrated circuits to test-and-measurement equipment, manufacturing test, and modeling and simulation. New products targeting 5G appear frequently. As this article was going to press, for example, Anritsu was announcing real-time spectrum analysis (RTSA) tools for its Field Master Pro MS2090A handheld spectrum analyzer, which can serve aerospace/defense, satellite, radar, and 5G and mobile-backhaul applications.
We asked 5G industry participants to describe their approaches to the technology, the challenges facing their customers, and solutions they offer. Read on to find what they have to say.
