Course Details
This short course is designed to introduce the main concepts behind 5G Massive MIMO and beamforming. This will be considered on a high-level basis, with focus on beam creation, as well as key aspects such as the 5G NR (New Radio) SSB (Synchronization Signal Block) location. Finally, Beam Management in 5G is briefly described, including the concept of Beam Sweeping in 5G NR.

Philip Nugent
Mpirical Trainer
Phil heads up Mpirical’s technical development, advising on the latest technologies and assisting the Mpirical team with his wealth of both historical and current knowledge. Phil’s specialist area is the mobile radio and RAN space, originally focussing on 2G and 3G technologies but more recently, heavily embedded with 5G New Radio for both Mpirical and customer specific projects.
