Multi Gigabit Microwave And Millimeter Wave Wireless Communications

For decades, microwave radios in the 6 to 50 GHz bands have been providing wireless communications. Exploring this area, this resource offers the details on multigigabit wireless communications.

Broadband communications has become the major focus for industry for offering rich multimedia IP services in next generation networks. This book deals with the state-of-the-art and the underlying principles of key technologies which facilitate broadband telecommunications including millimetre wave gigabit Ethernet, terahertz communication, multiple input multiple output (MIMO) technology, orthogonal frequency division multiplex (OFDM), ultra wideband (UWB) and the fourth generation (4G) network technologies. The book illustrates the use of these technologies, including high resolution three-dimensional millimetre wave radar imaging and terahertz imaging techniques. Within the next few years advances in graphic rendering and the application of millimetre wave radar technology will enable high resolution radar surveillance and operators of industrial processes to control their machines and to navigate remotely even in poor visibility environments. The principles and performance of terahertz imaging are also demonstrated in this important book. The performance and success of emerging all-IP networks depend largely on the efficiency of broadband technologies and this book provides the basis for 4G networks and explores key performance measures such as quality of service and handover between distributed networks (mobile and fixed). The book also demonstrates the medical and biomedical applications of broadband wireless communications.

Increasing the carrier frequency is one of the most promising solutions to deliver gigabit data rates in wireless communication systems. Applications like kiosk downloading or wireless high definition video transmission will certainly demand up to 10 Gbps in a few years. As these are highly consumer oriented applications, a low-cost implementation of the system is mandatory, which can be achieved by using planar structures with standard fabrication processes. This research focuses on exploring the relevant technologies for this next generation of millimeter-wave systems capable of multi-gigabit data rates. In millimeter-waves, interconnections play a key role: they are needed in antenna characterization and connection and system integration. Therefore, current and new interconnection structures for millimeter-waves are investigated. In particular, an efficient D band waveguide to microstrip transition for antenna measurement or interconnection is developed. An electromagnetic theory explaining its coupling mechanism is also presented. For multi-gigabit applications, very broad bandwidth antennas are needed. A planar antipodal dipole antenna for 122 GHz which features such broad bandwidth is discussed. Moreover, it was designed to be relatively insensitive to fabrication innacuracies. A transmission line model for the antenna is also presented. Several other antenna structures with different radiation patterns for a variety of applications are also addressed. It is clear from the power budget of a millimeter-wave system that moderate high gain antennas will be needed. Therefore, array structures for current "hot" applications are sketched. Focusing on a particular application, the high definition video transmission, the Quality of Service problem is addressed. This problem comes with the fact that the direct signal path might be temporarily blocked in a regular home environment. To overcome the problem, beamforming with a Rotman lens is proposed. Several antenna demonstrators for this application at 60 GHz were built. In order to correctly measure the antenna structures, a millimeter-wave antenna measurement setup was developed. It is highly flexible and delivers accurate and repeatable results. The system is useful for the measurement of antenna structures at D or V band. Finally, a whole end-to-end millimeter-wave system is discussed by the construction of a full demonstrator for 60 GHz with Quality of Service. The front end consists of transmitter and receiver and is built using off the shelf components. It is fully configurable and adaptable for the utilization of different antennas and beamforming devices, which can be very useful for channel measurement operations.

This book describes a full range of contemporary techniques for the design of transmitters and receivers for communications systems operating in the range from 1 through to 300 GHz. In this frequency range there is a wide range of technologies that need to be employed, with silicon ICs at the core but, compared with other electronics systems, a much greater use of more specialist devices and components for high performance – for example, high Q-factor/low loss and good power efficiency. Many text books do, of course, cover these topics but what makes this book timely is the rapid adoption of millimetre-waves (frequencies from 30 to 300 GHz) for a wide range of consumer applications such as wireless high definition TV, “5G” Gigabit mobile internet systems and automotive radars. It has taken many years to develop low-cost technologies for suitable transmitters and receivers, so previously these frequencies have been employed only in expensive military and space applications. The book will cover these modern technologies, with the follow topics covered; transmitters and receivers, lumped element filters, tranmission lines and S-parameters, RF MEMS, RFICs and MMICs, and many others. In addition, the book includes extensive line diagrams to illustrate circuit diagrams and block diagrams of systems, including diagrams and photographs showing how circuits are implemented practically. Furthermore, case studies are also included to explain the salient features of a range of important wireless communications systems. The book is accompanied with suitable design examples and exercises based on the Advanced Design System – the industry leading CAD tool for wireless design. More importantly, the authors have been working with Keysight Technologies on a learning & teaching initiative which is designed to promote access to industry-standard EDA tools such as ADS. Through its University Educational Support Program, Keysight offers students the opportunity to request a student license, backed up with extensive classroom materials and support resources. This culminates with students having the chance to demonstrate their RF/MW design and measurement expertise through the Keysight RF & Microwave Industry-Ready Student Certification Program. www.keysight.com/find/eesof-university www.keysight.com/find/eesof-student-certification
