TMYTEK Unveils the New 5G Millimeter Wave Beamformers and Frequency Converters with Full FR2 Spectrum

By SDR News On Sep 16, 2021

TMY technology, Inc., the world ‘s leading provider of millimeter wave solutions based in Taiwan, announced its 5G mmWave beamforms and frequency converters, which support both 28GHz and 39GHz with full coverage of the 5G FR2 spectrum for antenna and algorithm developers. In particular, academic researchers and antenna module manufacturers can take advantage of these innovative products to accelerate their R&D progress 20 times faster than modern mmWave solutions.

“5G is undoubtedly the driving force for next-generation transformation, and we are more than excited to see and support increasing new 5G capabilities in the global market with our growing mmWave offerings to accelerate the development and application of FR2 technology faster. from ever,” said Ethan Lynn, Vice President and Co-Founder of TMYTEK. “Our BBox The 5G series and UD Box 5G series not only support 28GHz in the FR2 bandwidth for most countries around the world, but also cover 39GHz, which is currently available in the US, Canada,, Australia and China markets. By solving the challenge of mmWave proliferation and understanding the sore points of beam deployment, our team continues to optimize product design to provide state-of-the-art 5G mmWave development product features. In the meantime, we added dynamic thermal compensation for constant RF performance and activated SPI control from the FPGA / SDR to achieve a short beam switching time of hundreds of nanoseconds to meet the 3GPP beam control requirement.

Covering FR2 bands n257, n258, n259, n260 and n261, the most common 5G mmWave and satellite communication spectrum, the latest 5G version of the beamformer and frequency converter designed by TMYTEK, allowing developers and researchers to develop and test applications of mmWave in extended frequency range settings.

The case of using the University of Hawaii in Manoa has successfully developed a prototype 5G NR detection system for non-contact testing for COVID-19 from TMYTEK mmWave products. With two of TMYTEK’s beam emitters, BBox, such as OFDM transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx), and one UD Box as up and down frequency converter, researchers can quickly tune mmWave radar environment and focus on developing algorithms. to successfully develop an accurate, safe and contactless COVID-19 testing system.

TMYTEK’s latest BBox 5G beamformers integrate all active circuits, including a power amplifier (PA), a low-noise amplifier (LNA), a phase switch and a T / R switch in one box, to make a complete RF front end for 5G mmWave applications. In addition, the detachable antenna offers excellent flexibility for easy attachment to any antenna with multiple grids. UD Box 5G, ultra-wideband up and down converting radio frequency cover up to 44GHz. TMYTEK’s internal graphical interface and API provide individual control of the phase and amplitude of each channel in the BBox and configure the frequencies in the UD Box, allowing antenna designers, system integrators and algorithm developers to complete beamforming and test from different angles. different deployments of mmWave scenarios.
