Samsung Electronics<\/a> announced that it has successfully developed the world\u2019s first adaptive array transceiver technology operating in the millimeter-wave Ka bands for cellular communications.<\/p>\n

The new technology sits at the core of 5G mobile communications systems and will provide data transmission up to several hundred times faster than current 4G networks.<\/p>\n

According to Samsung, 5G mobile communications technology is the next generation of the existing 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE<\/a>) network technology.<\/p>\n

\u201c5G will be capable of providing a ubiquitous Gbps experience to subscribers anywhere and offers data transmission speeds of up to several tens of Gbps per base station,\u201d Samsung said in a press statement.<\/p>\n

Millimeter-Wave Transceiver Technologies for 5G Cellular Networks<\/h3>\n

The implementation of a high-speed 5G cellular network requires a broad band of frequencies, much like an increased water flow requires a wider pipe.<\/p>\n

While it was a recognized option, the prevalent view was that the millimeter-wave bands had limitations in transmitting data over long distances due to its unfavourable propagation characteristics.<\/p>\n

However, Samsung\u2019s new adaptive array transceiver technology has proved itself as a successful solution.<\/p>\n

It transmits data in the millimeter-wave band at a frequency of 28 GHz at a speed of up to 1.056Gbps to a distance of up to 2 kilometres.<\/p>\n

The adaptive array transceiver technology, using 64 antenna elements, can be a viable solution for overcoming the radio propagation loss at millimeter-wave bands, much higher than the conventional frequency bands ranging from several hundred MHz to several GHz.<\/p>\n

Samsung plans to accelerate the research and development of 5G mobile communications technologies, including adaptive array transceiver at the millimeter-wave bands, to commercialize those technologies by 2020.<\/p>\n
