Demystifying 5G – UFMC Signal Generation

How to generate UFMC signals? Universal filter multi carrier (UFMC) is one of the deliverables of the EU-funded 5GNOW project. Rohde & Schwarz implemented UFMC and other 5G waveform candidates in their signal generator and signal analyzer solutions. This enables researchers to compare waveform candidates with each other and their own proposals, perform hardware in-the-loop experiments such as analyzing the impact of non-linear devices (e.g. power amplifier) to the signal characteristics and optimize RF front-end designs.

The demystifying 5G video series discusses main topics related to 5G including requirements, timeline, potential frequency and waveform candidates.
