mm-Wave Integrated Circuits in Silicon: Pathway to High-Performance Communications

#mmWave #6G

There is a widely held belief that going all digital solution is the pathway to design modern RF transceivers. This talk challenges this very notion for emerging 6G wireless communication. This seminar shows that when it comes to implementation of ultra-high data rates in excess of 10 Gbps, going all way to 100 Gbps and above, the all-digital design faces some incredible challenges that are impossible to address in silicon technologies. The talk then presents the novel idea of realizing modulation and demodulation schemes directly in RF domain. Three transmitter/receiver chip prototypes are presented that utilize this idea to achieve extremely power-efficient 15+ Gbps data rates.

Dr. Payam Heydari Dr. Payam Heydari

Biography:

Payam Heydari is currently a Full Professor of Electrical Engineering at the University of California, Irvine (UCI). Dr. Heydari's research covers the design of terahertz/millimeter-wave/RF and analog integrated circuits. He is the (co)-author of two books, one book chapter, and more than 170 journal and conference papers. He was a Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society (Jan. 2014 - Jan. 2016), and is now a Distinguished Microwave Lecturer of the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society (Jan. 2019 – Dec. 2022). His group was among the first who introduced the design of millimeter-wave integrated circuits in silicon technologies. They demonstrated the world’s first fundamental frequency CMOS transceiver operating above 100 GHz, the world’s highest radiated power and highest efficiency sub-terahertz circularly-polarized radiator in silicon employing a multi-port cavity-backed structure. 

A recipient of numerous awards, Prof. Heydari is an IEEE Fellow for his pioneering contributions to millimeter-wave integrated circuits and systems. He is the director of the Nanoscale Communication IC (NCIC) Labs.
