Design of 5G mmWave Beamforming Systems

5G and 6G communication systems will employ mm-Wave frequencies. This has made the development of highly integrated antenna arrays and RF front ends a standard practice. Engineers need to integrate RF, electromagnetic analysis, and digital signal processing algorithms within their system-level models.

In this webinar, we provide practical examples of RF design and simulation techniques for MIMO transceivers to enhance the overall performance and reduce costly re-spins. For RF transmitters, you will learn how to model power amplifiers and their interaction with antenna arrays and beamforming algorithms. This includes quantifying their spectral regrowth, measuring metrics such as EVM and ACLR and developing linearization techniques such as digital predistortion. For RF receivers, we showcase how you can develop equalization strategies, anticipate the impact of in-band and out-of-band interfering signals and develop interference mitigation strategies based on filtering or null steering. Finally, we will develop new architectures and algorithms using data sheet specifications, component measurements, electromagnetic analyses and ray tracing methods.
