Can you Simulate me now? Ansys and Keysight Prototype in 5G
by Shawn Carpenter on 01-10-2022 at 10:00 am

5G Signal propagation

Ansys and Keysight wanted to see if they could answer the question, If we put virtual cellphones in different locations in a city, can we predict what kind of 5G signal we’re going to get in those locations? To find out, they created and tested a detailed virtual model of a city, including a variety of 5G antennae, receivers, and transmitters… Read More
