IBM and Ericsson announced a research breakthrough that the firms believe could accelerate the launch of 5G communications networks.
The companies created a compact silicon-based millimeter wave phased array integrated circuit operating at 28 GHz that has been demonstrated in a phased array antenna module designed for use in future 5G base stations.
"The development of this 5G millimeter wave phased array is an important breakthrough, not just because of its compact size and low cost, which make it a very commercially attractive solution for network equipment companies and operators, but its potential to unleash and inspire brand new ideas and innovations we haven't yet imagined, thanks to a fully networked society," said Dr. Dario Gil, Vice President of Science & Solutions, IBM Research.
Scientists at IBM Research and Ericsson reached their breakthrough as a result of a two-year collaboration that set out to develop phased array antenna designs for 5G, the companies say.
