Wideband Silicon-Based Radio-Frequency Front-End Module for 5G New Radio

该项目旨在提高低成本硅技术在射频集成电路设计方面的知识，特别是在输出功率回退水平上提高能源效率的功率放大器设计。该项目的预期成果将是一个具有波束转向能力的宽带射频前端模块，可以覆盖24-50 GHz频段。这将最终促成低成本、高能效的5G毫米波网络的建立，可能会引发超可靠低延迟通信的发展，这对新兴的智能交通系统至关重要，并将保持澳大利亚在突破性无线技术发展方面的领导地位。

The project aims to advance knowledge in radio-frequency integrated circuit design in low-cost silicon technologies, particularly power amplifiers design with enhanced energy efficiency at output power back-off levels. The intended outcome of this project will be a wideband RF front-end module with beam steering capability that can cover the 24-50 GHz spectrum band. This will ultimately enable the creation of a low-cost and energy-efficient 5G millimetre-wave network that could potentially trigger the development of ultra-reliable low latency communications, which is critical for emerging intelligent transportation systems and will maintain Australia’s leadership position in the development of break-through wireless technology.
