5G Overview by Brewer Pedin, W4MGA

5G, 5G, 5G – we keep hearing about it. What is it and when is it? Brewer Pedin, W4MGA, is an RF/uWave/Wireless engineer with Keysight Technologies. This presentation will educate and illuminate the current state of 5G and forecast 6G.

He will present a high level overview of the technologies known as “5G.” A review of 1G-4G and other technologies lays the foundation. 5G itself is broken down into the physical layer technologies, including OFDM modulation, MIMO, mmWave, and beam forming. The core networks behind the base stations are also examined.
