MET5G

High bandwidth mobile communication is an essential tool for wealth creation by EU citizens, illustrated by a demand-led compound data growth rate of 40% per year. The definition of the next generation (5G, planned for deployment in 2020) is incomplete but anticipates the need to extend the operating frequencies above 6 GHz and to support a significantly increased user density to meet its target specifications (millisecond latency, seamless connectivity, low energy consumption, and 1000 times the capacity of 4G)... This project is directly relevant to activities that are being carried out by the European 5G industry, and academia to develop the necessary infrastructure and standards for 5G. The overall objective of the project is to develop traceable metrology required by 5G communications, to improve the associated measurement uncertainties to underpin all aspects from the signals, devices, systems and test environments for the emerging 5G technologies and to provide metrological..
