#4 Why GaN is 5G's Super ‘Power’
The excitement around 5G is shared on a global scale. And for good reason: 5G promises lightning speeds up to 20 times faster than 4G LTE, and opens up an array of innovative applications and opportunities beyond our imagination. But it also requires overhauling the current network infrastructure. A key component that powers the new infrastructure is found in GaN technology. Here we discuss why GaN is so important to this effort, the best practices for embedded designers using GaN, and how it will enable future innovations. Read more >
#5 Steering Clear: Vehicle-to-Everything Designs with Seamless Communication and No Interference
Did you know that vehicles today have more electronics and radios in them than the first space capsule sent to the moon? To reap the benefits of all the technology, each of these communication radios must work seamlessly without interference. Here’s what you need to know to avoid “traffic jams” in your V2X designs.
