Presents the introductory welcome message from the conference proceedings. May include the conference officers' congratulations to all involved with the conference event and publication of the proceedings record.
5G is stimulating our imagination and expectations for a new world that it may bring about by the year 2020. 5G is aimed at meeting a wide range of requirements such as further enhanced mobile broadband, massive connections and extremely long battery life for IoT, and reliable critical communications with low latency. Furthermore, it is highly expected to invent new business models and ecosystems...
The 5G standard promises a revolution in wireless data transfer with Gbps links over kilometers at millimeter-wave frequencies. This is possible using high-gain antenna arrays resulting in “directive communications” between the base-station and the user, either in a phased-array or in a MIMO configuration. A key challenge is the construction of low-cost phased-arrays and wideband transceivers at 20–60...
An IM3 cancellation technique is proposed and implemented in a 65nm CMOS 0.5–2.5GHz FTNC (frequency translational noise-cancelling) receiver with a wideband auxiliary path which also offers wideband interferer awareness. It achieves 8.8MHz BB BW, 40dB conversion gain, 3.3dB NF, +5dBm OB-IIP3, and −6.5dBm OB-B1dB without IM3 cancellation while consuming 36mW at 1.2V. Using IM3 cancellation, the equivalent...
This paper reports on an innovative in-band linearity performances characterization dedicated to nonlinear RF power amplifiers, here, pre-matched MASMOS® power amplifier. It consists of a generic multi-tones test signal that emulates the statistical properties of the applicative signal and allows signal and intermodulation output component separation for in-band C/I (signal to intermodulation power...
A linearity improvement technique for receiver systems is presented and verified on a 130nm CMOS high-IF upconverter with 470 –790MHz input and 2.4–2.6 GHz output frequency range, enabling WLAN and LTE transceivers to be used as TV White Space Devices. The upconverter reaches a stable IIP3 of 15 dBm, NF of 8 dB and Gain of 7 dB. A linearized LNA and mixer are used as a composite architecture to combine...
This paper describes a wide dynamic-range and accurate complex-impedance detector for adaptive power amplifier load tuning systems. The detector IC, fabricated in a 130 nm SOI technology, consumes 7mA under 2.5V supply voltage. It can handle LTE signals with an input power from 0 dBm up to 40 dBm thanks to its variable attenuator system. System level measurements show that the detector has a very...
A V-band balanced two-stage power amplifier MMICs with Lange couplers is demonstrated using 0.15 µm GaAs pHEMT technology in this paper. A CPWG-MS-CPWG topology with via holes at the transistors as the transition between coplanar waveguide with backside ground (CPWG) and microstrip (MS) is employed for the two-stage amplifier. CPWG is applied to realize the flip-chip transition interface for both...
