Rohde & Schwarz will present the first real-time measurements on the planned new Bluetooth® signals to support Channel Sounding. The demonstration at the Embedded World Exhibition & Conference in Nuremberg, Germany, will be run on an R&S CMW500 wideband radio communication tester. The Bluetooth® Channel Sounding feature will enable unprecedented positioning accuracy for consumer and commercial applications. The signal measurement capabilities to support chip and device development are eagerly awaited by the industry.  Caption: Options for the R&S CMW platform already support Bluetooth® Channel Sounding. For consumer and commercial devices, Bluetooth®…

Author: Dr Yu-Han Chang, Senior Technology Analyst at IDTechEx   The semiconductor industry continually pushes packaging technology boundaries to meet the demand for higher chip performance and efficiency. Bandwidth is one of the critical factors defining the amount of data transmitted between dies on a package. Bandwidth, crucial for communication speed and efficiency, is impacted by factors such as IO/mm and Datarate/IO, which are, in turn, influenced by the dielectric materials selected for 2.5D and 3D packaging. This article explores the technology trends in dielectric materials for both 2.5D and 3D…
