Technology Requirements and Initiatives for 5G Radio Front-Ends
BUENAVENTURA ELECTRON DEVICES / CIRCUITS AND SYSTEMS SOCIETIES CHAPTER
A review of semiconductor and package technology choices for 5G communication systems are considered. The market context for 4G and future 5G systems along with existing RF Front-End UE architectures are reviewed with emphasis on SIP technology. Silicon-on-Insulator, InP HBTs, and other technology candidates are discussed within this context. We conclude that rapid customization at the module level is needed in order to serve different manifestations of 5G systems in the early phases of market deployment and demonstrators.
