Philadelphia, PA. Wireless Telecom Group’s Boonton and Noisecom businesses exhibited at IMS their latest products and technologies that enable the development, deployment, and test of next-generation wireless communications and connectivity.

Boonton Electronics was focused on 5G driving wider bandwidths and higher frequencies. According to Walt Strickler, vice president and general manager at Boonton, the need for broadband, high-frequency RF power measurement is becoming more important. He demonstrated Boonton USB power sensors, which provide 195 MHz of video bandwidth and operate into the millimeter-wave range with sensors up to 40 GHz. With the company’s Real-Time Power Processing, Boonton sensors have virtually zero measurement latency, minimizing the chance of missing any waveform dropouts our anomalies, he said. These capabilities are suitable for verifying new radio signals in development, for ensuring proper operation during production, and for troubleshooting issues in the field. Boonton demonstrated these Real Time Power sensors alongside its two newest products—the CPS2000 Connected Power Sensor for low cost, high-volume manufacturing test of wireless devices, and the 4500C Peak Power Analyzer for high performance radar and pulsed RF test.

Matthew Diessner, regional sales director, said Noisecom has been developing noise sources across the microwave and millimeter spectrum for over three decades, and the sources are now finding use in ensuring fast, economic development and deployment of 5G devices. Calibrated noise sources for noise power ratio and noise figure measurement in high bandwidth 5G and millimeter applications improve amplifier and system performance, he said. He demonstrated broadband noise sources for over-the-air testing and chamber calibration, critical aspects of 5G device testing where conducted testing and physical connection to a device under test is impossible due to highly integrated components and high bandwidth signals.

Also exhibiting at the Wireless Telecom Group booth were Microlab, a global provider of RF components for in-building wireless distributed antenna systems, and CommAgility, a 4G radio-access-network equipment, PHY, and protocol stack provider with experience in private network markets and specialized applications such as satellite communications and air to ground systems.
