[Legacy Report] Challenges in the design of circuits and systems for 5G

#32nd #ANNUAL #SYMPOSIUM #AND #MINI-SHOW

5G is the next major iteration under development in mobile communications technology. It promises higher
data rates, capacity for more devices and more data, and low latency, amongst other benefits. This must be
achieved with practicable hardware technology, and low-per unit cost and power consumption. It will require
sophisticated configurations, mixed-signal integration, and the use of multiple fabrication technologies. The
specification of system blocks including modulation signals, circuits, and other components, must account for
their interdependence, limitations, environmental conditions and product requirements. This presentation will
talk about the associated design challenges at the system level, their implications for constituent circuits such
as power amplifiers, antennas and filters, and approaches being taken to meet those demands.
Andy Hughes is a Field Applications Engineer with NI, AWR Group. He works with current and potential
customers to provide guidance and assistance with NI/AWR's EDA software in modelling their advanced
Microwave & RF circuit and system designs. The role requires in-depth understanding of passive and active
circuits, design flows, and the capabilities of linear, nonlinear, EM simulation, and system simulation tools.
Through 30 years working in many disciplines of RF & Microwave design, plus programming experience,
Andy has considerable understanding of product development, the techniques used in RF/microwave design,
and how to best exploit EDA software to produce accurate simulations and reduce re-work and time to market.
Andy received his Bachelor of Science degree in Electronic Engineering from University of Leeds in 1984. He
has held various engineering and engineering manager roles including Marconi and Cobham Tactical
Communications & Surveillance, before joining AWR in 2013.
