Phased array transmitter unit for next generation 5G Smart Cities communication systems

在经济合作与发展组织2016年经济调查*中，“全球价值链（GVCs）在国际生产过程中日益增长的作用对土耳其的发展至关重要……参与全球价值链是在全球化世界中成功实现生产力扩散的关键驱动力之一。”该项目是VIPER RF（英国）与土耳其一家老牌工业公司在高科技项目上的合作，旨在为下一代智能城市通信系统开发传输模块。智能城市将在提高城市居民的生活质量和企业效率方面发挥重要作用，包括实时电子医疗、智能电网、智能汽车、联网住房和娱乐。此类应用可带来诸多好处，包括公民的健康和福祉以及城市污染控制**；例如，越来越多的个人已经拥有的传感器，如运动（移动电话），心率（健身追踪器）可以连接到监测中心，以方便对病人或老人进行实时干预，并且越来越多的这些数据可以用来与其他宏观因素建立相关性，例如通过中心城市服务收集的污染水平，以帮助城市规划。为了支持智慧城市所需的信息流量的数量级增长，通信基础设施需要在当前4G无线通信标准的基础上进行重大技术创新。该项目的目的是为5G电信基站开发相控阵发射模块。该模块将实现高带宽毫米波频率下具有成本效益的系统级封装，基于新的定制高集成芯片、集成天线和相关控制电子设备的单一多层封装。该项目涉及重要的高科技产品创新和开发，两家公司的工程师在促进创新的共同目标上密切合作。如果成功，该项目的影响将包括为土耳其公司进入快速崛起的国内5G电信市场以及出口和参与全球价值链提供市场途径，从而促进可持续增长（联合国可持续发展目标#9**），支持国内技术开发，研究和创新以及产业多样化。社会经济效益将包括增加制造业和高技术工作，并有可能以更低的成本增加获得电信的机会。* https://read.oecd-ilibrary.org/economics/oecd-economic-surveys-turkey-2016_eco_surveys-tur-2016-en#page92**Diane J.

In the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development 2016 Economic Survey*, “the growing role of global value chains (GVCs) in international production processes is of critical importance for Turkey’s development... participation in GVCs is one of the key drivers if successful productivity diffusion in a globalised world.” This project is a collaboration between VIPER RF (UK) and an established Turkish industrial company on a high technology project targeting at developing a transmit module for next generation Smart Cities communication systems. Smart Cities will play a significant role in improving the quality of life of urban inhabitants and the efficiency of businesses including for real-time e-Health, smart grids, smart cars, connected housing and entertainment. Such applications can result in a plethora of benefits including the health and well being of citizens and urban pollution control**; for example the increasing number of sensors which individuals already possess such as motion (mobile phones), heart rate (fitness trackers) can be connected to monitoring centres to facilitate intervention for the sick or elderly in real-time, and increasingly such data may be used to make correlations with other macro-factors such a pollution levels collected via central city services to aid city planning. To support the orders of magnitude increase in information traffic demanded by Smart Cities, significant technological innovation is required in the communications infrastructure from the current 4G wireless communications standard. The aim of this project is to develop a phased array transmit module for 5G telecommunication base stations. The module will be realized as a cost-effective system-in-package operating at high bandwidth millimetre-wave frequencies based on new customized highly integrated chips, integrated antennas and associated control electronics in a single multi-layer package. This project involves significant high technology product innovation and development with engineers from both companies working closely together in the joint goal of fostering innovation. If successful, the impact of this project will include providing a route to market for the Turkish company into the rapidly emerging 5G telecommunications market both internally and for exporting and participation in GVCs thus promoting sustainable growth (UN Sustainable development Goal #9**), supporting domestic technology development, research and innovation and industrial diversification. The socio-economic benefits will include increased manufacturing and high technology jobs with the possibility of increased access to telecommunication at reduced cost.* https://read.oecd-ilibrary.org/economics/oecd-economic-surveys-turkey-2016_eco_surveys-tur-2016-en#page92**Diane J.
