Chapter 26: RF Technologies at mm-Wave Frequencies

Abstract

In this chapter, different RF implementation aspects in mm-wave frequencies are presented. These include ADC and DAC, LO generation, phase noise, power amplifiers, filtering, receiver noise figure, receiver dynamic range and bandwidth dependencies.

The existing 3GPP specifications for 2G, 3G, and 4G mobile communications are applicable to frequency ranges below 6 GHz and the corresponding RF requirements consider the technology aspects related to below 6 GHz operation. NR also operates in those frequency ranges (identified as frequency range 1) but ...
