Book excerpt: The fifth-generation (5G) wireless communication standard is being developed to supply faster wireless data transfer to ever-growing number of cellular network subscribers, and millimeter-wave phasedarray transceivers have been proven to be perfect candidates for 5G infrastructure. This dissertation focuses on the design and implementation of phased-arrays at 28 GHz and 60 GHz using 45-nm CMOS SOI and 0.18-[mu]m SiGe BiCMOS technologies, respectively. A common-leg transmit/receive phased-array front-end module is implemented for high-efficiency and high-linearity 5G applications. The design flow is discussed and the error-vector magnitude (EVM) measurements are demonstrated with 8 Gbps data-rate. Reusing some of the sub-blocks of this design, a 28 GHz two-element passive bidirectional phased-array core-chip is designed and flip-chip packaged. The details of this design is presented in the appendix. The 60 GHz dual-polarized dual-beam wafer-scale phased-array transceiver addresses the challenges of building a phased-array that is larger than the standard maximum reticle size (22x22 mm2) for increased coverage. The design strategies are discussed as well as the system and communication link analysis. This work shows the construction of infinite-element phased-arrays on a low-cost printed circuit board (PCB) using only bondwires to form a functional wafer-scale array.

This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Demands of multi-standard operation have risen in millimeter-wave 5G phased arrays, in order to achieve more band coverage, reduce fabrication and deployment costs and realize inter-band carrier aggregation. This dissertation investigates dual-band and wideband design approaches to realize multi-standard phased array systems. In the dual-band approach, a 32-element dual-band, dual-beam phased array is designed by integrating dual-band patch antennas with commercial narrowband beamformers. Another design introduces an 8-element dual-band, dual-polarized, dual-beam phased array targeted at compact system applications. Both designs achieve 26-29 GHz and 37-41 GHz operation. In the wideband phased array approach, a novel stacked wideband dipole antenna is developed and integrated with a wideband SiGe Tx/Rx beamformers to achieve operation of 23-46 GHz. A single-polarized 64-element array and a dual-polarized 8-element array are then demonstrated with state-of-the-art performance. The 64-element array achieves a maximum EIRP of 50 dBm at P1dB operation, and 8-element dual-pol. array achieves 29 dBm. Both arrays demonstrate less than 4% EVM when transmitting 64-QAM 5G OFDM signal with 6-8 dB backoff from P1dB.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Phased array technologies has been in development for many decades but primarily in defense industry with large complicated systems and excessively high cost. With the recent advances in silicon chips and printed-circuit board (PCB) manufacturing, planar phased arrays can be built on a PCB in a compact form with drastically lower cost. The new 5G communication standards also utilize millimeter wave bands that require phased arrays with high effective isotropic radiated power (EIRP) and beam steering capabilities. The 5G systems, with the fast growing industry of satellite communications on-the-move, and millimeter wave automotive radars used for self-driving technologies, contribute to a giant market in need of a large amount of low cost phased arrays. This dissertation focuses on such commercial-use phased arrays, studies their artifacts and how to eliminate them, provides solutions to optimized phased-array systems, and proposes calibration methods essential for their performance. First, it presents the intersymbol interference (ISI) caused by the phased array when it is scanned with a simple effective equalization scheme, and then, it presents a TX/RX phased-array system with a reduced number of randomly distributed elements that is optimized for radar applications. This dissertation also presents a new method for phased array calibration based on 2x2 sub-arrays that is more robust across different scan angles and yields better performance while reducing the measurement time. Finally, a method to measure the error vector magnitude (EVM) of the phased array in the near-field is presented, which can be used to verify the calibration and performance of phased arrays in communication systems when they are deployed in the field.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation presents millimeter-wave transmit/receive phased-arrays at 60 GHz, which are used to demonstrate long-range and high data-rate communication links. A 32-element one-dimensional (1-D) phased-array is built with 2$\times$2 beamformer chips flipped on a low-cost printed circuit board. Series-fed microstrip antennas are used, which limits the bandwidth to around 2 GHz at 64 GHz center frequency. The phased-array scans only in the azimuth plane with a 3$^o$ beamwidth and has a wide beam of 12$^o$ in elevation. The phased-array’s high effective isotropic radiated power (EIRP) of around 42 dBm and low noise figure of 6.5 dB enable long-range communication at 500 Mbps over 800 m. A two-dimensional (2-D) scanning phased-array is also built using the same beamformer chips on a more complex multilayer board. The 2-D phased-array has an EIRP of 45 dBm in saturation and scans up to +/- 15$^o$ in the elevation plane and +/-50$^o$ in the azimuth. Stacked microstrip antennas are used, enabling a wide bandwidth of $\sim$8 GHz for the phased-array. Data-rates of up to 30 Gbps are achieved with 64-QAM modulation using the full bandwidth of the phased-array. An analysis of intermodulation effects in receive-mode phased-arrays is presented and verified through experimental results from a Ka-band 5G phased-array. The intermodulation products are shown to peak at scan angles which do not correspond to the interferer directions. Experimental evidence is presented to show that the adjacent channel power ratio (ACPR) of transmit phased-arrays improves with larger number of elements at a given backoff from the compression point. This implies better transmit efficiency in larger phased-arrays. Finally, techniques are presented for reducing the number of phase-shifters in a 2-D phased-array while maintaining a limited scan range in the vertical and horizontal planes. It is shown that the number of phase-shifters can be reduced by 75\%, while maintaining a scan range of +/-15$^o$ in the elevation and +/-40$^o$ in the azimuth.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the technical revolution on hardware and software of communication system, the fifth generation mobile communication systems (5G) is followed into the spotlight. In the 5G era, the frequency band will be in millimeter-wave region (24-60 GHz) and the available bandwidth can be the unthinkable in the 4G age. As a result, the data rate in the coming future can arrive >100 times higher than what we have currently employed. Its feature on high data rate and lowdelay will bring the significant improvement on the associated industries, such as autonomous vehicle, Internet-of-Things (IoT)... However, the mm-wave signals also bring the more challenge on the 5G system design of the mobile and base station. It will suffer from the high atmospheric absorption in the communication, which is the dominant limitation on the long-distance communication in 5G. Therefore, it is essential to develop the 5G communication system and mm-wave ICs to overcome the physical limitation of mm-wave. The research projects in this dissertation, in consequence, focus on communication system design and mm-wave ICs for 5G. Also, it shows the advanced high data-rate ICs for IoT, which will be implemented of 5G era.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation presents two millimeter-wave phased-antenna arrays at 28 GHz for fifth-generation (5G) mobile communication applications as well as techniques for performing in-situ self-test and self-calibration of single- and dual-polarized 5G phased-arrays. First, a scalable 64-element single-polarized transmit/receive phased array is built with 2x2 beamformer chips on a low-cost printed circuit board (PCB). The design emphasis is placed on minimizing the printed circuit board cost, optimizing the cross-polarization performance, and on-grid scalability. The array is capable of scanning +/-50 deg. in azimuth and +/-45deg. in elevation at 29 GHz with cross-polarization rejection better than 20 dB. It achieves an effective isotropic radiated power (EIRP) >50 dBm over a 4 GHz bandwidth from 27 to 31 GHz. Therefore, it is a suitable candidate for Gbps multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) base-station applications. Second, a 2x64-element dual-polarized dual-beam phased array for 5G polarization MIMO is built. The phased-array has two 1:16 dual Wilkinson networks and microstrip antennas with rotated feeds for cross-polarization cancellation. The array demonstrates a measured effective isotropic radiated power (EIRP) at Psat of 52 dBm for each beam and is capable of scanning +/-50 deg.in azimuth and +/-25 deg. in elevation with >28-dB cross-polarization rejection. Simultaneous dual-beam operation is demonstrated with near-ideal patterns for each beam. The array demonstrates independent simultaneously transmitted 2x16-quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) and 2x64- QAM data streams delivering an aggregate maximum data rate of 2x20 and 2x30 Gb/s, respectively. Next, the problem of phased-array calibration is considered. Two calibration techniques are developed and tested for calibrating single and dual-polarized 5G phased arrays at 28 GHz.The first technique addresses the calibration of single-polarized phased-arrays in a MU-MIMO hybrid beamforming base station system. The procedure, labeled Quad-BIST, enables built-in self-test (BIST) and self-calibration of the arrays in-situ without having to remove the array from the field. Quad-BIST relies on mutual coupling between antennas in neighboring arrays arranged in Quad-fashion to extract the calibration coefficients and perform channel characterization. Quad-BIST was successfully applied to 5G 28 GHz arrays with 4x4 and 8x8 elements in each quadrant. The results show that Quad-BIST predicts the channel states (gain and phase control) with rms errors of 0.2 dB/2 deg. and 0.4 dB/2.5 deg. for the 4x4 and 8x8 quadrants, respectively, as compared to far-field techniques. The relative channel ratios are found to be within rms errors of0.8 dB/7.5deg.. Near-ideal patterns are attained using the quadrant-level calibration for both arrays with side-lobe level's below -20 dB over scan. The second technique is for the calibration of dual-polarized dual-beam phased arrays. The procedure, labeled (DP-BIST), exploits the mutual coupling between different antennas of orthogonally polarized beams sharing the same aperture to enable in-situ self-calibration and self-test of the phased array channels of each beam. DP-BIST was applied to a 16-element dual-polarized dual-beam linear phased-array at 29 GHz, and predicted the relative channel states (gain and phase control) with rms errors better than 0.3 dB /3 deg. and the relative channel offsets with rms errors of 0.8 dB /6 deg. over a wide-bandwidth. These results demonstrate its feasibility for use in 5G polarization MIMO phased arrays.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The millimeter-wave (mm-wave) spectrum is currently used for the fifth-generation (5G) standard for high data-rate and low-latency links for both mobile users and fixed wireless access. The 5G standard supports licensed bands at 23.5-30.5 GHz and 37-43 GHz and unlicensed band at 57-71 GHz. Compared with 4G bands, the mm-wave bands support 10× larger bandwidth and thus can greatly improve the data-rate and maximize the throughput. At millimeter-wave frequencies, phased-array antennas with 32 to 512 elements are used to increase the antenna directivity so as to overcome the severe path loss. Such arrays can improve the link margin and allow for Gbps communications at 50-1000 meters. The research projects in this dissertation, in consequence, focus on the design and implementation of wideband 5G phased-arrays at 28 GHz and 39 GHz with 64 to 256 elements and with state-of-the-art performance. Also, the phased array system analysis for EVM degradation versus RMS error, and advanced applications such as carrier aggregation at mm-waves are investigated.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis presents a W-band wafer-scale phased array transmitter with high efficiency on-chip antennas. The 4x4 phased array is based on an RF beamforming architecture with an equiphase distribution network and 2-bit phase shifters placed in every element. The differential on-chip antennas are implemented using a 100 um thick quartz superstrate and have an efficiency of ~45% at 110 GHz. The use of electromagnetically coupled antenna leads to wafer-scale phased array concept with simple integration method. The phased array transmitter is implemented in 0.18 [mu]m SiGe BiCMOS process, and the measurement shows an array gain of 26.5 dB, pattern directivity of 17.0 dBi, maximum EIRP of 23-25 dBm at 108-114 GHz. The direct pattern measurement from the phased array transmitter shows beam steering capabilities up to plus/minus ±30° in two orthogonal directions. This is the first demonstration of wafer-scale phased array in silicon technology. Millimeter-wave circuit components in 45nm SOI CMOS technology are also presented. Transmission-line based D-band common-source and cascode amplifers are designed with the peak gain of 8.7 dB at 147 GHz and 6.1 dB at 171 GHz, respectively. The experimental characterization of the technology shows that on-chip passive elements has low-quality factor, and it can offset performance advantage of the active devices.
