Following questions were raised by anonymous website visitors or readers to the online publishers. We'll check up a few queries among them below.


Reason behind change in network upgradation from 1g to 5g?

In a nutshell, the answer to this issue is that bandwidth demands are increasing. The bandwidth allotted to a specific service, for example, is fixed. Now, if the number of devices linked to the internet is growing by the day, what would you do to meet the increasing bandwidth demand? As a result, every few decades, a whole new G (or generation in cellular wireless communication) appears to meet the required requirements. Read More ...


Does my PDA support 5g?

It is entirely dependent on the mobile or cell phone's operational frequency band. More specifically, the frequency band that your mobile antenna receives or broadcasts is determined by your antenna.


Can a CSE can study 5g courses?

Prerequisites to pursuing a 5G course:

You must have some good understanding in previous G's especially in Telecommunication to pursue a 5G course. Here concept of cell, operating frequency, infrastructure all are different as compare to 3G or 4G network. The key technologies to enable 5G are

You must have basic knowledge about wireless channel model, modulation schemes used in 3G and 4G, antennas used in those technologies, etc. to make yourself fit for pursuing a course on 5GMIMO Technology, SVD, etc.Basic knowledge on UWB or millimeter wave is a big plus for that.


What additional benefits may you expect if you have a background in computer science or engineering?

Machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) are becoming increasingly important as we advance in technology. Python is a great programming language for machine learning and artificial intelligence. It is a significant benefit if you have a thorough understanding of programming languages, particularly Python. Deep Learning (DL) is a common tool in 5G simulation, bandwidth allocation, beamforming, and channel estimation, among other applications.

It is now entirely up to you whether or if you are interested in 5G courses. We recommend that you have a fundamental understanding of telecommunications, including prior G's such as 3G and 4G, operating frequencies, used modulation or multiplexing techniques, MIMO technologies, and so on.


Any side effects of 5g cables overhead my house

No


Any side effects of 5g cell tower around my house

In reality, cell towers emit radiation at a level that is safe for humans . Only when you receive a call or your signal level on the screen drops below, the cell tower provide more power to your phone. However, that power is also below the standard of safety. According to experts, this is unlikely to cause harm. You may be aware that the transmitted power from cell towers or access points (APs) in 5G communication will be lower than in 3G or 4G.


What are the clusters and side lobes?

A. We usually discuss the term 'time cluster' or 'cluster' in case of extremely high frequency communication system. Where signal gets reflected and refracted multiple times in environment due to very high frequency. When signal (MPCs) come to receiver and they are close in time then they form cluster. Technically, they are (MPCs) close in time in spatial domain.

While reading any chapter on beamforming, you may come across the terms 'main lobe' and' side lobe.' In this case, side lobes are a group of MPCs that are close in angle in terms of AOA (angle of arrival) or AOD (angle of departure) (angle of departure). Continue Reading ...


Which modulation techniques are used in 5G?

A. OFDM, NOMA


What is millimeter wave technology?

A. Millimeter wave band with huge potentiality like -- huge bandwidth resource and ultra low latency properties which is a most suitable candidate to enable millimeter wave 5G communication. Although, most countries are still using sub 6 GHz band for 5G networks. Due to extremely high frequency it's wavelength spans between 10 millimeter to 1 millimeter, so it is termed as 'Millimeter Wave'.


What companies develop 5g antennas?

A. Laird is one of them.


What is the difference between 1g and 5g in switching technique in DCC?

BER vs SNR for M-ary QAM, M-ary PSK, QPSK, BPSK, ...

Modulation Constellation Diagrams BER vs. SNR BER vs SNR for M-QAM, M-PSK, QPSk, BPSK, ... What is Bit Error Rate (BER)? The abbreviation BER stands for bit error rate, which indicates how many corrupted bits are received (after the demodulation process) compared to the total number of bits sent in a communication process. It is defined as,  In mathematics, BER = (number of bits received in error / total number of transmitted bits)  On the other hand, SNR refers to the signal-to-noise power ratio. For ease of calculation, we commonly convert it to dB or decibels.   What is Signal the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)? SNR = signal power/noise power (SNR is a ratio of signal power to noise power) SNR (in dB) = 10*log(signal power / noise power) [base 10] For instance, the SNR for a given communication system is 3dB. So, SNR (in ratio) = 10^{SNR (in dB) / 10} = 2 Therefore, in this instance, the s...

Antenna Gain-Combining Methods - EGC, MRC, SC, and RMSGC

 There are different antenna gain-combining methods. They are as follows. 1. Equal gain combining (EGC) 2. Maximum ratio combining (MRC) 3. Selective combining (SC) 4. Root mean square gain combining (RMSGC) 1. Equal gain combining method We add the correlated data streams from different antennas in the equal gain combining method. Then we multiply the resultant data with (1/(number of antennas)) For example, for two antenna gain-combining  If the received symbols are y1 and y2, then  Equal combing gain, y_egc = 0.5 * (y1 + y2) 2. Maximum ratio combining method We multiply the individual data streams with weights in the maximum ratio combining method. More weightage is multiplied by those data streams with maximum {|h|^2}, where h denotes the channel impulse response. And less weightage is multiplied by those data streams with corresponding small value of  {|h|^2}.  Then we sum the data streams to improve SNR. In the case of Maximum Ratio Combining, if y1 an...

Theoretical and simulated BER vs. SNR for ASK, FSK, and PSK

  BER vs. SNR denotes how many bits in error are received in a communication process for a particular Signal-to-noise (SNR) ratio. In most cases, SNR is measured in decibel (dB). For a typical communication system, a signal is often affected by two types of noises 1. Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) 2. Rayleigh Fading In the case of additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN), random magnitude is added to the transmitted signal. On the other hand, Rayleigh fading (due to multipath) attenuates the different frequency components of a signal differently. A good signal-to-noise ratio tries to mitigate the effect of noise.  Calculate BER for Binary ASK Modulation The theoretical BER for binary ASK (BASK) in an AWGN channel is given by: BER  = (1/2) * erfc(0.5 * sqrt(SNR_ask));   Enter SNR (dB): Calculate BER BER vs. SNR curves for ASK, FSK, and PSK Calculate BER for Binary FSK Modulation The theoretical BER for binary FSK (BFSK) in a...

Constellation Diagrams of ASK, PSK, and FSK

BASK (Binary ASK) Modulation: Transmits one of two signals: 0 or -√Eb, where Eb​ is the energy per bit. These signals represent binary 0 and 1.    BFSK (Binary FSK) Modulation: Transmits one of two signals: +√Eb​ ( On the y-axis, the phase shift of 90 degrees with respect to the x-axis, which is also termed phase offset ) or √Eb (on x-axis), where Eb​ is the energy per bit. These signals represent binary 0 and 1.  BPSK (Binary PSK) Modulation: Transmits one of two signals: +√Eb​ or -√Eb (they differ by 180 degree phase shift), where Eb​ is the energy per bit. These signals represent binary 0 and 1.  Key Points For Binary Amplitude Shift Keying (BASK), binary bit '0' can be represented as lower level voltage or no signal and bit '1' as higher level voltage.  For Binary Frequency Shift Keying (BFSK), you can map binary bit '0' to 'j' and bit '1' to '1'. So, signals are in phase.  A phase shift of 0 degrees could represent a binary '1...
