AUTONOMOUS & CONNECTED VEHICLES
Spectrum co-existence challenges in the fully connected car ALI BAWANGAONWALA | QORVO, INC.
High-performance RF bandpass filters may hold the key to autonomous vehicle communication without interference. Continuing advances in technology are making the autonomous vehicle a practical reality, and there is frequent discussion among technologists about Wi-Fi and 5G as enablers of the connected car. Equally important, but less talked about, are the complexities of bringing these technologies together and making them work hand-in-hand without creating interference issues that impact safety and operation.

The players in the autonomous vehicle industry must solve these challenges before the world can realize the potential of truly autonomous vehicles. An autonomous vehicle is one capable of navigating itself from point A to point B without human intervention. This will take place through the sharing data, such as position and speed, with surrounding vehicles and infrastructures. The data sharing will happen via Vehicleto-Everything (V2X) communication systems
