Insights on Spectrum for 6G

Register

Research for 6G currently focuses on legacy and novel frequency spectrum. Besides continued work in spectrum below 7 GHz, the following bands are getting significant attention:

  • Frequency Range 3 (FR3) from 7 to 24 GHz.
  • Sub-terahertz bands from 90 to 300 GHz.
  • Frequency Range 2 (FR2) from 24 to 52 GHz.


Join Keysight’s Roger Nichols for an insightful discussion on these bands, with a special focus on FR3, which gained significant traction in 2024 following the World Radio Conference.

  • Explore spectrum foundations from a historical perspective.
  • Review 6G spectrum candidates.
  • Analyze what makes FR3 popular and challenging.
  • Evaluate if millimeter wave (mmWave) is still under consideration.
