Device
A mm-Wave Concurrent Dual-Band Dual-Beam Phased Array Receiver Front-End in 22-nm CMOS FDSOI
Spectrum
23-30 GHz, 35-40 GHz
Novelty
A unique phase shifter architecture with a shared low noise amplifier (LNA) and shared quadrature network (QN) enables the dual-band RF-beamforming receiver front end supporting two simultaneous output streams with fully connected (FC) configuration.
Application
5G and above applications with spatial multiplexing to allow multiple data streams to be received/transmitted simultaneously at the same or different frequencies.
Performance
23 - 30 GHz 3 dB bandwidth with 21 dB peak gain at 29 GHz;
36 - 40 GHz 3 dB bandwidth with 18 dB peak gain at 38.5 GHz.
6 dB noise Figure (NF) at 28 GHz, 7 dB NF at 37 GHz.
6° max phase error, 1.32 dB max gain error.
