WSF: RF-FE and Phased Array System for 5.5G and 6G

Presentation Abstract
With rapid technological advances, the scope of communication systems is expanding significantly. Among the most groundbreaking developments are the use of mm-wave and sub-THz frequencies, which are poised to revolutionize wireless communication by unlocking unprecedented capabilities. This workshop will explore the transformative potential of mm-wave and sub-THz technologies, covering the frequency range from 30GHz to 300GHz. Once underutilized, these high-frequency ranges are now pivotal to major technological breakthroughs. Central to this advancement is the broadband front-end, which is crucial for effectively harnessing these frequencies for cutting-edge applications. A major focus of the workshop is the advancement of high-frequency communication technologies. Attendees will examine innovations in ultra-fast data transfer, low-latency networks, and the integration of mm-wave and sub-THz frequencies within wireless systems. These advances are reshaping connectivity, supporting the rollout of 5.5G and 6G networks, enhancing autonomous vehicles, and enabling smart cities. The workshop will also highlight the potential of 5.5G and 6G technologies to transform various industries. Additionally, the integration of Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS) and Radio-over-Fiber (RoF) technologies will be discussed, showcasing their critical roles in optimizing signal quality and extending network reach in the evolving landscape of 5.5G and beyond.
