Millimeter-wave large-scale phased-arrays for 5G systems

This talk will present our latest work on silicon RFICs for phased-array applications with emphasis on very large chips with built-in-self-test capabilities for 5G systems. SiGe is shown to be ideal for mm-wave applications due to its high temperature performance (automotive radars, base-stations, defense systems, etc.) and lower power consumption. These chips drastically reduce the cost of microwave and millimeter-wave phased arrays by combining many elements on the same chip, together with digital control and some cases, high-efficiency antennas. The phased-array chips also result in an easier packaging scheme using either a multi-layer PCB or wafer-level packages. We believe that this family of chips will be essential for millimeter-wave 5G communication systems.
