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（GVC）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推广生产力的关键驱动力之一。该项目是VIPER RF（英国）与土耳其一家知名工业公司合作的高科技项目，旨在为下一代智能城市通信系统开发发射模块。智慧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、互联住房和娱乐。这种应用可以带来许多好处，包括公民的健康和福祉以及城市污染控制 **;例如个人已经拥有的传感器的数量的增加（移动的电话）、心率（健身追踪器）可以连接到监控中心，以方便实时干预病人或老人，并且越来越多地可以使用这样的数据来与其它宏观因素（例如通过中心城市服务收集的污染水平）进行关联，以帮助城市规划。为了支持智慧城市所需的信息流量数量级增长，通信基础设施需要从当前的4G无线通信标准进行重大技术创新。该项目的目的是为5G电信基站开发相控阵发射模块。该模块将作为一个具有成本效益的系统级封装，在高带宽毫米波频率下运行，其基础是新定制的高度集成芯片、集成天线和单个多层封装中的相关控制电子设备。该项目涉及重大的高科技产品创新和开发，两家公司的工程师密切合作，共同促进创新。如果成功，该项目的影响将包括为土耳其公司提供进入快速崛起的5G电信市场的途径，包括国内和出口以及参与全球价值链，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元化。社会经济效益将包括增加制造业和高技术就业机会，并有可能以较低的成本增加电信服务。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.
