Millimeter-wave backhauling links are of primary importance in the architecture of 5G telecommunication systems. Their implementation demands highly integrated front-end chips capable of fully exploiting the most advanced semiconductor technologies' capabilities. This work reports the design and experimental validation of several fundamental building blocks of D- and E-band backhauling front-ends implemented using 55-nm SiGe BiCMOS semiconductor technology. Results include an E-band I-Q receiver, a frequency synthesizer, two D-band amplifiers and, a D-band power amplifier.

Abstract

Millimeter-wave backhauling links are of primary importance in the architecture of 5G telecommunication systems. Their implementation demands highly integrated front-end chips capable of fully exploiting the most advanced semiconductor technologies' capabilities. This work reports the design and experimental validation of several fundamental building blocks of D- and E-band backhauling front-ends implemented using 55-nm SiGe BiCMOS semiconductor technology. Results include an E-band I-Q receiver, a frequency synthesizer, two D-band amplifiers and, a D-band power amplifier.
