Wireless communications: disruptive circuits for next generation cellular radios
Résumé
Each generation of cellular communications brings its breakthroughs not only in network and cellphone engineering, but also in its applications and user experience. 5G is already entering our everyday lives, and RF designers are facing its challenging paradigm of simultaneous demand for wide bandwidth, low power and low-cost solutions. This talk introduces a new methodology for the design of RF front-ends, "Design by Mathematics", which addresses these challenges and will present several examples of disruptive RFICs for Carrier Aggregation that were designed to target the sub-6 GHz 5G standard. Additionally, challenges for Beyond 5G, exploring sub-THz architectures to target 6G, will be discussed.
