Smartphones keeps on driving data


Mobile infrastructure gets further developed

• Need for speed & low latency• More advanced networks• Lack of spectrum is driving new

technology (mm-wave)• Backhaul need increase• IoT and 5G is coming• Reduce cost need -> C-RAN


Growth 2022: Mobile infrastructure LTE and 5G

• +2.7 billion LTE• +0.5 billion 5G


How will mm-wave support this growth?

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the US open up for mm-wave

• 27.5-28.35GHz• 37-38.6GHz• 38.6-40GHz• 57-71GHz (14 GHz)• 71-76 and 81-86 GHz (10 GHz)

USA market = first moverEarly markets Japan, China and Korea


Wi-Fi and Cellular evolution

802.11ad, 802.11ay and 5G

key RF features • mm-wave• Beam steering/

Beam forming• Phased array

antennas


Why beam steering/forming


• mm-wave has higher free space path loss• Compensated by using phased array and BF• Phased array and BF increased gain• BF increase directivity (even NLOS) • BF reduces interference and crosstalk

Omni-directional

Phased array with BF

Technology choice for RF mm-wave applications

Technology + - Comments

RF CMOS(65-28 nm)

• Mainstream CMOS• Low wafer cost/mm2 • SOC integration with RF+BB• 65nm = lowest wafer cost• 28nm = highest integration

• Low breakdown voltage• Low Tx power / efficiency at

mmWave• Poor Device isolation• mmWave performance

decreases at 28nm• High mask cost

• Good choice for consumer electronics -> short rangeapplications

• RF TRX integration is difficult at mmWave

• Okay for 60 GHz (V-band, not suitable > 70 GHz.

SiGe BiCMOS(130nm)

• Optimized for mmWave• Great f-T / f-Max and phase noise• Good Tx output power and

efficiency per element• Lower mask cost• Great integration level for mixed

and digital signals

• Higher wafer cost/mm2• Not suitable to baseband SoC –

However single SMD eWLB-capsule integration possible if desired.

• Great choice for high performance and high Txpower (longer range)mmWave applications

• Support fMax of 300 Ghz -> application from 60-120 Ghz. (V-band, E-band, W-Band etc)

GaAs • Good for mmWave• Best Tx output power and

efficiency per element• Lower mask cost

• Very high wafer cost/mm2• Not suitable to baseband SoC• No digital integration possible • Low integration level

• Best choice for high performance and high Txpower (longer range)

• Expensive and has very low integration level

2015-2016

3nd Gen RFICs57-71, 71-86 GHz

2017->


C-RAN Fronthaul Point to Point


• 60-80 GHz fronthaul solutions• Cheaper than fiber (low cost and fast installation)• Low latency • Traditional point to point or 802.11ad/ay• Beam steering and beam forming will be key

0.5-2 GHz bandwidth, up to 10 Gbps

Mesh network - Point to Multipoint

28 GHz, 39, 60GHz solution (WiGig/802.11ad) with: • Easy installation: beam steering and beam forming

3 sectors are needed to cover the full 270° degrees

Point to Multipoint


Fixed Wireless broadband access

28 GHz (5G), 39 GHz (5G) or 60GHz (WiGig/802.11ad)

• Easy installation: beam steering and beam forming• Large bandwidth and speed > 1 Gbps• Cheaper than fiber (low cost and fast installation)


Google Fiber -> FWA

Outdoor and Indoor: Carrier grade Wi-Fi access point at 60 GHz

• High output power to cover large cell• 60 GHz give high free space path loss –> requires beam steering and beam forming• Support for tri-band required

4 sectors are needed to cover the full 360° azimuth


Indoor: High-end Tri-band Wi-Fi access point


• High output power to cover longer distance in rooms• 60 GHz give high free space path loss –> requires beam steering and beam forming• Sivers IMA solution only for high-end access points due to cost• Support for tri-band required

5G cellular access

• 28, 39, 60-80 GHz “5G” with phased array and beam steering

Backhaul and end-user access in one box!

*Cellular 5G to be set by ->2019
