The cloud is expanding into space, and phased-array antennas (PAAs) are critical enablers of the convergence between non-terrestrial networks (NTNs) and terrestrial networks. As NTN advances, the industry is developing advanced PAAs to enable seamless connectivity between terrestrial and NTN components, which are complex in function and circuitry as well as physically large and heavy. They introduce new challenges in characterization, calibration, and production testing.
Such challenges can be addressed from test methodology, measurement platform, test algorithms, product design, test equipment design, and production efficiency and reliability perspectives. In this podcast, we talk to Giorgia Zucchelli, Product Manager for RF and Mixed-Signal at MathWorks, about this formidable space.
