MmWave Sensors and Modules Industry Developments

February 2024, Sivers Semiconductors AB announced its state-of-the-art low-cost BFM02803 RF module for FWA applications that covers the 5G FR2 mmWave bands N257, N258 and N261 (24.25GHz to 29.5 GHz). The 5G mmWave module — launched at Mobile World Congress 2024 — is optimized for high-performance, high-power Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) applications and meets requirements for large-scale manufacturing of FWA products. It’s designed to interface with leading baseband modems and allows manufacturers to differentiate their 28 GHz FWA products.

February 2024, Sivers Semiconductors AB (STO: SIVE) announced a new cheap Radio Frequency (RF) Mode – BFM02803, which is supposed to be a state-of-the-art product in this field; it operates in the frequency range from 24.25 GHz up to 29.5 GHz covering all necessary n257, n258, n261 bands for millimeter-wave system used by fifth-generation mobile networks or so-called “5G”. It was shown at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona this year! This small device can be used as a transmitter or receiver, but even more importantly, it can work simultaneously in both ways! That means you do not need two separate devices if you want to establish a wireless connection between two points; one will be enough – just set them opposite each other and let magic happen…The manufacturer claims that it has been optimized for fixed wireless access systems working at high power levels over long distances, so they are the perfect solution for internet service providers who have customers living far away from their main offices because these modules are able to cover huge areas without any signal degradation due atmospheric conditions such as rain, snow, etc.

October 2022: Movandi, a leader in new 5G RF and millimeter-wave software and technologies, teamed up with Rakuten Mobile to leverage its intelligent repeater and BeamXR Open-RAN technology to boost the availability and bandwidth of 5G outdoor and interior millimeter wave networks in Japan.

August 2022: A contract for the design and development of 5G millimeter wave fixed wireless access (FPA) customer premises equipment (CPE) by HFCL Limited and Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. was signed. As part of its ongoing efforts to create 5G solutions, HFCL has begun work on 5G mmWave FWA CPE products for the Indian and international markets.

February 2022, pSemi Corp expanded its millimeter wave (mmWave) radio frequency front-end (RFFE) range for 5G wireless infrastructure applications. The new products are pin-to-pin compatible, comprising three beamforming ICs and two up-down converters, enabling interchangeability of ICs for full intermediate frequency (IF) to radio frequency (RF) coverage across the n257, n258, and n260 bands. This modular approach, combined with digital correction and on-chip calibration, simplifies design cycles for system teams that need to quickly adapt to different active antenna design configurations. It can be used as discrete RFIC or as part of the Murata 28 GHz antenna-integrated module; this wide range provides better performance, reliability, and integration in smaller form factor integrated circuits.
