Mobile traffic has been doubling annually, and this exponential growth is set to continue over the next five years. By the end of the decade, the average mobile user could be downloading one terabyte of data each year. To meet this demand, a fifth-generation (5G) cellular technology will need to be developed. The integration of the radio-frequency (RF) front-end, however, presents several challenges that still need to be addressed for the advent of the next generation of wireless communication systems. Current solutions are too expensive and power hungry for portable systems. Also, due to interconnect losses and crosstalk, the integration of passive millimeter-wave components with active integrated circuits is a complex process.

移动的流量每年翻一番，这种指数增长将在未来五年继续下去。到2020年，平均每个移动的用户每年可以下载1TB的数据。为了满足这一需求，将需要开发第五代（5G）蜂窝技术。然而，射频（RF）前端的集成提出了几个挑战，仍然需要解决的下一代无线通信系统的出现。当前的解决方案对于便携式系统来说太昂贵且耗电。此外，由于互连损耗和串扰，无源毫米波元件与有源集成电路的集成是一个复杂的过程。
