company news about Anritsu is working with Aalborg University to extend the 6G research

This new 6G research initiative will develop new technologies for channel detection and communication channel sensing for new 6G frequency bands, including millimeter wave and Asia-Pacific Hertz bands. This will be achieved by Anli's vector network analyzer with specific functions to enhance measurement methods and Aalborg University's antenna and measurement system technology.

As industry and standards bodies discuss and plan frequencies and waveforms to be used in next-generation mobile communications such as 6G, IMT-2030, a detailed understanding of wireless channel characteristics is key information. This research program will provide new techniques for high resolution and wideband wireless channel characterization, which will contribute to system modeling performance evaluation of 6G technology. In addition, for candidate 6G technologies, this work will support the evaluation of "joint communication and sensing" technologies and waveforms currently under study.

Jonathan Borrill, Global Market Technology Leader at Anritsu, said: "We are excited to further expand our 6G research activities and collaborate with Aalborg University. The university has world-class capabilities and knowledge in channel detection and OTA measurement, and we are confident that this research project will contribute world-leading results and testing capabilities to the industry."

Wei Fan, Professor at Aalborg University and leader of the research group "Wireless Propagation and OTA Testing", said, "Radio channel modeling is essential for the design and development of 6G systems and interfaces, starting with reliable measurement of the channel using a high-fidelity channel sounding instrument. We are pleased to partner with Anritch, the world's leading manufacturer of RF test instruments, to develop a state-of-the-art channel sounder for the 6G communication and sensing system in this project."
