Abstract:
Every major electronic product innovation or improvement in capability is ushered in on a foundation of other technological innovations many of which have been percolating over several years. 5G/mmWave network capabilities and its benefits are no exception. Given the past expense of millimeter and microwave technologies and products many improvements in semiconductor technology, manufacturing and design are needed to reach the economy of scale needed for 5G and mmWave adoption. This talk will elaborate on the improvements and impact that ‘silicon’ like FD-SOI will have as an emerging and disruptive technology for millimeter and microwave design and systems for 5G.
