Silicon Technologies for 5G/Millimeter Wave Phased Array Systems

This webinar explores radio interface architecture, key figures of merit and chip partitioning options for different phased array-based millimeter wave applications, with special emphasis on millimeter wave 5G. The webinar also discusses the feasibilities of various silicon technologies (bulk CMOS, SiGe BiCMOS, and partially and fully depleted SOI) in these applications and how these technologies can address some of the key performance challenges.
Agenda:

Phased array antenna overview and beamforming schemes
Millimeter wave and 5G millimeter wave applications based on phased array systems
Silicon technologies for phased array systems
Architecture and chip-partitioning options for various use cases
