The development of 6G technology is driven by the need to meet the escalating demands for faster, more reliable, and ubiquitous wireless communication. As the digital landscape evolves, new applications are emerging, requiring unprecedented data rates and bandwidth. To achieve these ambitious goals, 6G aims to exploit the sub-THz (terahertz) frequency range, typically from 100 GHz to 300 GHz. These frequencies are crucial for several reasons: high data rates and bandwidth, low latency, and network density. However, utilizing sub-THz frequencies presents significant challenges, including increased path loss, atmospheric absorption, and the need for advanced technologies to manage signal generation, propagation, and reception efficiently.

To address these challenges, load pull measurements become an essential tool in the development and optimization of 6G components and systems. Load pull measurements involve varying the load impedance of a device under test (DUT) to study its performance characteristics under different conditions. This technique helps in: characterizing performance, optimizing efficiency, and improving reliability. By leveraging load pull measurements, researchers and engineers can refine and optimize the critical components required for 6G, ensuring that the technology can meet the high-performance standards necessary for future wireless communication needs.

This webinar will introduce attendees to performing High Power Active and Hybrid-Active Load Pull Measurements at 6G Sub-THz Frequencies.
