Organizers organizations: CEA-LETI, IMS (UMR5218)
Abstract
5G spectrum is presently open world-wide to sub-6GHz and mm-Wave bands at 26GHz, 28GHz, and other bands at 40GHz, 60GHz (V) and 71-86GHz (E) are under evaluation in most parts of the world. Different power amplifier architectures and process technology approaches are in competition to cover these 5G opened bands. This workshop will benchmark the state-of-the-art power amplifier techniques targeting mm-Wave frequency for 5G applications, and will present the status of different processes addressing the Power Amplifier applications such as silicon based, III-V, GaN and InP technologies. Finally we will discuss the match between these technologies’ specificities and the different 5G application requests.
