To support the 5G NR standard\, new frequency bands are being allocated i n the range from 24- 86 GHz\, commonly referred to as Millimetre Wave (mmW ave).\n\nThe new mmWave bands introduce significant challenges in terms of RF propagation loss. A possible solution would be to increase antenna gai n for both the receiver and the transmitter\, but this also causes difficu lties as the higher gain results in a narrower antenna beam\, leading to a need for very large and sophisticated antenna arrays to cover the require d segment/coverage area.\n\nOne way to fulfil carriers’ segment coverage requirements is to use beam-steering\, which can be achieved using phase shifting. This talk will cover several methods for phase shifting and some pros and cons of each.\n\nThe focus of this talk will be on RF implementa tion\, addressing the challenges that arise when working with frequencies at millimetre scale. Alex will share some of the difficulties we have enco untered at NetComm Wireless during our mmWave research and prototyping.\n\ nCo-sponsored by: Engineers Australia and The IET\n\nSpeaker(s): Alex Cohe n\, \n\nRoom: Harricks Auditorium\, Bldg: Engineers Australia\, 8 Thomas S t\, Chatswood\, Sydney\, New South Wales\, Australia\, 2067 LOCATION:Room: Harricks Auditorium\, Bldg: Engineers Australia\, 8 Thomas S t\, Chatswood\, Sydney\, New South Wales\, Australia\, 2067 ORGANIZER:memberservices@engineersaustralia.org.au SEQUENCE:5 SUMMARY:RF Engineering Challenges in mmWave Design URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/170254 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>5G New Radio (5G NR) is more than just a L ong Term Evolution of 4G\; it is a technological revolution in terms of bo th hardware and software development. 5G NR is expected to improve our mob ile communication experience by dramatically reducing the latency and incr easing the bandwidth.
