Talk Title:  RF channel emulation and practical considerations for testing at mmWaves in the lab with real devices.

Abstract: In any wireless system, the propagation environment that links transmitters and receivers is an integral, yet sometimes overlooked, part of the end-to-end operation. This propagation environment is becoming an increasingly essential consideration for system design and test as radio technology continues to evolve, particularly for 5G deployment and optimization.

As cellular technology advances to millimeter-wave (mmW) operation, the physics of higher-frequency operation mean that conventional approaches are no longer able to support meaningful test objectives.

This session will introduce the key challenges around testing mmW devices and systems, and next-generation test methods. We’ll start with an overview of the fundamentals of RF propagation channel theory, with emphasis on newer concepts in the domain. Then we will examine an updated approach for practical testing for 5G systems. This session will be suitable for both beginners and experts.

Talk Title: The Internet of Things (IoT) and the mmWave Frontier: an Overview

Abstract: The growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) places new demands on the performance, attributes, operating characteristics, and economics of underlying technologies. It provides a unique opportunity (as well as challenges) for mmWave and THz devices to play a critical role. The areas where this is important include: (1) Communications; (2) Sensing; and (3) Industrial Processes. IoT is inherently complex, and architectures, applications, and solutions that are emerging place a premium on size, weight, power, and cost. They also place a premium on the ecosystems that are compatible with operations at scale, as well as policy and regulatory constraints. The talk will cover a view of what IoT is about, where devices that operate at mmWave lengths and adjacent spectrum may be expected to contribute in a unique way, and the key issues for success and adoption.

Talk Title: Mm-wave Communications: Opportunities and Challenges for IoT

Abstract: Mm-waves occupy the radio frequency (RF) spectrum from 30 GHz to 300 GHz. Opening up mm-wave frequencies for communications will provide many opportunities for IoT developers to exploit. Exploitation of mm-waves is essential to meeting many of the promises of 5G communications, such high capacity, low latency, and high connection densities. However, along with these opportunities, many challenges exist for deployment of mm-wave communications. Mm-waves have propagation properties that are significantly different from the sub-6 GHz frequencies that are used in 4G/LTE. This talk will discuss some of the biggest opportunities for IoT in mm-wave communications, and present some of the issues that must be considered in deploying mm-wave solutions.

Talk Title: The Importance of Linearizers Onboard Satellites

Abstract: Power efficiency, mass and size are of critical importance for satellites. Linearizers offer the most compact and efficient RF/microwave/millimeter-wave linear power amplification. Linearity is important not only for communications satellites were the ability to transmit information at high data rates is directly related to the linearity of a satellite’s amplifiers, but also for navigational satellites where phase linearity is of high importance and for scientific/instrumentation payloads where data communications can be of great concern. The advantages offered by linearizing in space will be discussed.

Talk Title: Millimeter-wave Research at NRL in the IoT Age
Authors: Baruch Levush and Jeffrey Pond

Abstract: Seventy years ago, J. R. Pierce noted: “The millimeter wave range, a relatively undeveloped field for research, presents a challenge to theoreticians, experimentalists, and inventors alike . . .”[1]
It may have taken awhile, but theoreticians, experimentalists, and inventors took up the challenge, and are developing the millimeter wave range for a myriad of commercial and military applications. The vision for a future where everything is interconnected is placing a tremendous burden on the available channel capacity to transmit all of the information that must be exchanged between nodes in a networked world. Traditional RF and microwave frequencies do not offer the channel capacity required to exchange this information. View More (PDF)

Talk Title: IoT at Millimeter Wave Frequencies: Finding Hope

Abstract: While many Standards Organization Committees consider carrier frequency as an independent variable, carrier frequency has a strong influence on a wireless link’s ability to achieve a full complement of operating objectives. These may include communication distance, power efficiency, bandwidth, directivity, penetration of foliage, penetration of building structures, environmental conditions, human safety, and both capital and operational costs. All of these objectives are important for the success of any wireless communication link, but are particularly important for the Internet of Things (IoT), and crucial for low cost applications characterized by many IoT use cases.

For the IoT, the wireless link objectives mentioned above conflict with each other, and do so strongly enough that achieving economic success is a real question. Use of signal modulation schemes that require circuit linearity compromise both the top achievable power efficiency and the available transmitter signal power. The short wavelengths of millimeter waves (mmW), while they do not impact the transmitted propagating field power density, do force solutions for antenna directivity at the receiver, and further require that the receiving antenna is large enough to intercept enough of the transmitter’s field to make communication work at useful distances. Wider bandwidths support faster data rates with low to moderate signal complexity, but have correspondingly short transition times that in turn force higher current levels, with all else being equal. (There is no free lunch.)

Basic system-level approaches different from conventional wisdom appear to provide the greatest impact on near-term progress (particularly on improved power efficiency), which suggests that mmW based IoT solutions should be fundamentally different than the current plans for the 5G (3GPP) infrastructure. The possible technical solutions that can use present technology to best advantage are outlined, and the trade-offs necessary for particular optimizations are discussed.

There is hope for success, but major changes to the usually assumptions in system design are necessary to get there!

Talk Title: Wide Band and Wide Steering Angle Terahertz Phased Array Transmitters in Silicon

Abstract: In recent years many new mm-wave applications and standards have been emerging. These systems are mostly a response to the ever-growing demand for higher data speed, higher image resolution, and better sensing systems. The same trajectory to THz and higher frequencies will likely to continue in future for higher performance and more compact systems. Realization of integrated mm-wave/THz systems in low-cost and reliable silicon technologies can be a technological milestone, paving the way for tremendous opportunities both in high-tech market and academic research. This work is focused on tackling the major challenges of implementing mm-wave/THz integrated sources, including power, bandwidth, radiation and beam steering of the source power. We have demonstrated a new phase shifting method based on combining standing and traveling waves and were able to achieve a record bandwidth and beam steering range. Among other research works, we present a 0.34-THz wideband (~50 GHz tuning range) and wide-angle 2D beam steering phased array, in 0.13μm SiGe BiCMOS.

Talk Title: US and ITU Policies for Use of Spectrum Above 100 GHz

Abstract: This presentation will review US and international regulations for use of spectrum above 100 GHz.  This spectrum is different than lower spectrum in several key ways: 1) it has frequency dependent atmospheric absorption that in many cases has a major impact on propagation, 2) the small wavelengths enables antenna designs not possible at lower bands, 3) there is potentially large blocks of contiguous spectrum with bandwidths that dwarf bandwidths in lower spectrum and 4) there are many more protected passive bands than in lower spectrum where passive uses such as environmental satellites much be protected.  The presentation will review recent FCC policy decisions about use of this spectrum as well as decisions made at the ITU 2019 World Radio Conference.
