Radio heads targeted at 5G NR research and system prototyping

NATIONAL INSTRUMENTS Two series of new millimeter wave (mmWave) radio heads for the mmWave Transceiver System, cover spectrum from 24.5GHz to 33.4GHz and 37GHz to 43.5GHz, and are targeted at wireless researchers prototyping 5G New Radio (NR) systems. The open, modifiable physical layer provided in the source code created using LabVIEW aligns with the Verizon 5G TF specification and Release 15 of 3GPP’s 5G NR specifications. It also pairs with the mmWave Transceiver System to offer researchers a flexible solution that operates as an over-the-air communications system out of the box.
