Discover the concepts, architectures, components, tools, and techniques needed to design millimeter-wave circuits for current and emerging wireless system applications. Focusing on applications in 5G, connectivity, radar, and more, leading experts in radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC) design provide a comprehensive treatment of cutting-edge physical-layer technologies for radio frequency (RF) transceivers - specifically RF, analog, mixed-signal, and digital circuits and architectures. The full design chain is covered, from system design requirements through to building blocks, transceivers, and process technology. Gain insight into the key novelties of 5G through authoritative chapters on massive MIMO and phased arrays, and learn about the very latest technology developments, such as FinFET logic process technology for RF and millimeter-wave applications. This is an essential reading and an excellent reference for high-frequency circuit designers in both academia and industry.

The term “5G” has been around for a while as it is really a marketing term. People were talking about 5G even before anyone knew what 5G was going to be about. Even today, if you ask five different people, “What is 5G?” you may get more than five answers! Well, the name is naturally 5G because it is the “Fifth-Generation” mobile network standard. Ultimately, 5G will be defined by standardization bodies such as 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project), and even then the concept of 5G will evolve. The reason that it’s so difficult to pin down a clear definition for 5G is that it’s going to be a worldwide network standard for the next decade, and there’s a long wishlist of new technology elements that people want to see in 5G, and then there’s the reality of building and deploying a new network and keeping costs and power consumption at a reasonable level. So 5G is a compromise between our dreams for the next-generation radio versus the reality of what is technologically feasible and economically viable.
