From Phased Array Antenna Design, Prototyping, FR2 Open Source Research, to FR2/FR3 Test Solutions

The development of 5G/6G technologies has led to advanced communication. TMYTEK explored 5G/6G communication from Phased Array Antennas (PAA) to FR2/3 Communication Testbeds and mmW-SDR technology, featuring the capability of the antenna systems and beamforming enable rapid prototyping, and algorithm testing offering an adaptable testbed for developing versatile wireless communication applications.

The mmW-OAI, an extension of mmW-SDR, is deeply integrated with the OAI open source stack for 5G FR2 End-to-End test network experiments and trials, serving as a reference implementation for 5G FR2 SA end-to-end testing in mmWave bands with commercial UEs. The fully open-source OpenAirInterface (OAI) stack can be expanded by researchers interested in beam management algorithms and 6G use cases like ISAC and RIS, including components such as the OAI CN5G, OAI gNB (CU/DU), beamformer UHD driver, and a user-friendly cloud-based dashboard for network monitoring and control.

This year, TMYTEK teams up with Anritsu to present FR2/FR3 Test Solutions in 5G NR WaveGen & Analysis for mass production. TMYTEK's modular bidirectional broadband up/down frequency converter UD Module and UD Box expand legacy testing instrument frequency ranges to 20 GHz/44 GHz, supporting various bands like UWB, C/X/Ka/Q/Ku-Band to 5G NR FR2 and high-bandwidth applications up to 1 GHz. This solution offers simplicity, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness for 5G NR FR2/FR3 WaveGen & Analysis, minimizing system integration costs and maximizing investment while streamlining the testing process.
