Fujikura Ltd. is showcasing its latest 28-GHz-band phased array antenna module (PAAM) high-power version Type-C for 5G base stations at the IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium 2024 (IMS 2024). At their booth, they are demonstrating the 256-element Type-C module with 4 PAAMs for the first time. Additionally, Five oral presentations on PAAMs are being delivered at the symposium, including joint presentations with Rohde & Schwarz, Avnet, and MathWorks.
Fujikura’s 28 GHz PAAM is a fully integrated module consisting of an array antenna, beamformer ICs, a frequency converter IC and filters. It offers the highest performance in the industry and is intended for both indoor and outdoor applications such as fixed wireless access connecting a telecommunications carrier and its subscribers, high-speed mobile wireless access for mobile terminals, and trunk lines between carrier backbone networks and base stations (wireless backhaul).

In addition to the static display featuring the "FutureAccess" Type-C module, Fujikura also has a 256-element antenna module with four PAAMs arranged in a 2x2 arrangement for a live demonstration.
In the demo, the R&S®ATS800B CATR benchtop antenna test system provided by Rohde & Schwarz will be used to create a far field in a compact environment.
The transmitting output of an antenna module is composed of 4 PAAMs and is 16 times that of a single PAAM, and the receiving sensitivity is 4 times that of a single PAAM, greatly improving communication distance with mobile media. What sets this PAAM apart is its unique calibration-free design, which allows for this exceptional transmission and reception performance without the need for calibration.
