Dr. Anirban Bandyopadhyay of GLOBALFOUNDRIES, Inc., USA: Director, RF Strategic Applications & Business Development

5G, the next generation cellular standard will cover different usage scenarios covering enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), ultra-reliable, low latency communication (uRLLC) and low power massive machine-to-machine communication (mMTC). In this talk, I’ll focus on eMBB aspect of 5G - particularly the mmWave based eMBB. The talk will highlight the need for mmWave based mobile communication, different hardware architecture options for the radio interface of mmWave 5G eMBB and technology challenges associated with each option to be implemented. The key figures of merits for 5G mmWave radio hardware, different chip partitioning options and how different silicon technologies like partially and fully depleted SOI, Silicon-Germanium BiCMOS can address the requirements for different mmWave 5G radio architectures will be discussed.
