BANGALORE, INDIA: Handset maker Samsung Electronics has announced that it has tested 5G mobile communications system and has developed a new millimeter-wave transceiver technology for 5G cellular networks. The technology is expected to be commercialised in 2020.

Samsung, on its website, claims that it has 'developed the world's first adaptive array transceiver technology, called 5G mmWave mobile technology, operating in the millimeter-wave Ka bands for cellular communications".

5G mobile communications technology is the next generation of the existing 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) network technology. It is capable of supporting data transmission up to several hundred times faster than current 4G networks.

Samsung explains that implementation of a 5G cellular network requires a broad band of frequencies, unlike millimeter-wave bands, which had limitations in transmitting data over long distances due to its unfavorable propagation characteristics.

Samsung's new adaptive array transceiver technology can transmits data in millimeter-wave band at a frequency of 28 GHz at a speed of up to 1.056 Gbps to a distance of up to 2 kilometers.

"The adaptive array transceiver technology, using 64 antenna elements, can be a viable solution for overcoming the radio propagation loss at millimeter-wave bands, much higher than the conventional frequency bands ranging from several hundred MHz to several GHz,".
