Company Description
BWant was established in early 2012 with the vision of "Make MIT antennas be famous in the world", and is committed to developing automatic antenna measurement systems and algorithms.
Over the years, BWant has adhered to the insistence of "Only when the measurement is accurate, can the R&D be done well", and customize the corresponding measurement system according to the needs of each customer. In addition, BWant also provides measurement services. Based on more than ten years of antenna research and development experience, our R&D team further combines with the measurement instruments of major international manufacturers to flexibly develop a series of measurement systems with intuitive operation interfaces for customers’diverse product testing needs, effectively assist customers in accelerating the development of various communication products.
In 2023, BWant had launched M-series OTA measurement systems, whether AiP, phones, NBs, or as large as the satellite/payload, BWant can provide the most appropriate solution.
BWant will be your best technology partner!
Company Research Topics and Matching Number
Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (RIS) Applications in FR3 and NTN
High bandwidth, low latency, and wide coverage are the three primary objectives of 5G. In the B5G/6G era, in addition to upgrading these three goals, concepts of low-power environmental sustainability and AI applications are incorporated. Therefore, this project will explore the application of Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS) to enhance electromagnetic wave efficiency, focusing on two B5G technologies:
FR3 frequency band and Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN). The research topic content is summarized as follows:
a. B5G/6G FR3 (7~24 GHz):
o The FR3 frequency band lies between 5G FR1 and FR2.
o FR1 and FR2 technologies respectively focus on the design of overall channel capacity (MIMO) and main beam Line-of-Sight (LoS) signal strength (Phase Array).
o This project will analyze how RIS, which can alter the electromagnetic wave propagation path in space, can enhance the channel capacity and signal strength of FR3.
b. NTN Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Satellites:
o The communication distance between LEO satellites and the ground is greater than 350 kilometers, resulting in significant electromagnetic wave path loss.
o Phased arrays are typically used to increase the required signal-to-noise ratio for communication, achieving electronic beam steering.
o However, challenges include power consumption, heat dissipation, and BFIC cost.
o This project will utilize RIS to achieve Electronic Beam Steering (ESA) with low power consumption.
All of the above projects will incorporate Over-The-Air (OTA) measurement technology to verify the theoretical analysis results.
