Abstract

Future 6G wireless systems and beyond will support communications, sensing, and positioning at multiple spectrum bands. Novel networking architectures will be required to achieve performance, resiliency, and flexibility for deployment of the antenna and related RF hardware on fixed locations and vehicles for the radio access network. Deployment of a massive number of low SWaP-C picocells for coverage and flexible locations is a complex challenge that will strain the conventional base station, microcell, and even the O-RAN architectures, especially when applied to mm-wave and sub-THz spectrum bands at >100GHz. Does analog photonics have a role in meeting these challenges? If so, what is that role and what are the key bottlenecks to implementation? This focus session tackles this question and will feature diverse technical perspectives (all-electronic, digital photonic, analog photonic and hybrid) from academia, industry and government labs.

Abstract

Space-based solar power has been in discussion for the last 40 years at least, but recently, with technological advances and the increase in gas cost, this topic is on the table again, not only in academic environments but especially in governmental programs. Some of the countries investing significantly in this approach include USA, Japan, China, Canada, the UK, New Zealand, Australia, and more recently the EU. The concept implies collecting energy out in space and beaming it to where needed, on earth or any other planet or satellite; one of the most recent ideas has been to use it to power up moon stations by creating a microwave energy link network on the moon. This special session's objective is to bring researchers in this area to IMS and to discuss the novelties in microwave transmitters and receivers, those being highly efficient power amplifiers or highly efficient RF to DC converters.

Abstract

This session discusses state-of-the-art microwave photonic and electronic techniques to generate, amplify and radiate mm-wave and sub-THz signals. The first paper discusses sub-THz signal generation with very low linewidth using asymmetric locking of two lasers. The second paper describes broadband optical frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) signal generation using hybrid electronic-photonic techniques. The third paper is about widely tunable, photonically assisted, RF-sub-THz signal generation with frequency independent phase noise. The fourth paper achieves microwave signal amplification using injected semiconductor lasers. Finally, the last paper covers design and implementation of an on-chip topological filter antenna operating at 300GHz.

Abstract

Next-generation RF/mm-wave systems are of great interest in supporting high data-rate communications, which include future 5G FR3 and mm-wave 5G FR2 and 6G mobile networks. These RF networks can potentially deliver 10Gbps or higher and backhaul communications with >50Gbps. Since E/D/G-band can also support multi-GHz bandwidths, there is also growing interest in mm-wave phased array implementations. This focused session will cover emerging high-performance Silicon and III-V RF/mm-wave technologies toward 5G/6G wireless applications and DoD applications with speakers from both commercial (Global Foundries and Intel) and Defense (DARPA, Northrop Grumman, HRL) sectors.

Abstract

In this session, we report exciting progress on integrated passive devices in GaN and Si technologies. For example, a novel high-power limiter based on GaN Schottky barrier diodes demonstrates a record 39ns recovery time at 100W. Two new GaN digital step attenuators exhibit an ultrawide bandwidth of 40–220GHz. Meanwhile, a V-band voltage-controlled distributed attenuator based on 65nm CMOS technology achieves an attenuation range higher than 1000dB/mm² for the first time. Finally, a new electrically balanced duplexer based on a tunable passive auto-transformer in the 65nm CMOS technology demonstrates 30dB isolation at 60GHz with a 19GHz bandwidth.

Abstract

Couplers are one of the most important microwave passive components and thus are ubiquitous in balanced amplifiers, mixers, and beam-forming networks for antenna arrays. This session presents the recent advances in design methodologies for state-of-the-art couplers. Initially, novel design platforms including substrate- or metal-integrated suspended lines will be presented to reduce the dielectric and conductor losses in couplers. Next, investigations into architectures including multi-section transformers will be discussed to widen the coupler bandwidths. Finally, industrial coupler prototypes utilizing the InP HEMT MMIC process for highly-integrated chipsets will be presented. Together, these papers aim to build an ecosystem of next-generation couplers with attractive performance such as low loss and wide bandwidth.

Abstract

Remote sensing of human vital-signs such as heartbeat or respiratory rate will become increasingly important in an aging society. This session will present interesting radar concepts tailored to these tasks by discriminating the vibrations on the body surface from random body movements to the respective vital-signs under monitoring. All papers will present ideas that enable hardware structures with reduced complexity compared to conventional approaches. The session will focus on the specific system and hardware aspects of self-injection locking radar. In addition, a sophisticated proposal for metamaterials for space-time encoding will also be presented.

This session focuses on III-V and silicon power amplifiers (PAs) targeting D-band applications and beyond. It will start with a benchmark design of high-efficiency PAs in 250nm and 130nm InP HBT technologies at 220GHz, followed by a low-noise PA for the WR4.3 and WR3.4 bands in a 35nm InGaAs mHEMT technology. The next presentation from the session will talk about another InGaAs mHEMT PA covering 270–320GHz in a compact footprint. Next, analysis and design of a differential complex neutralization will be discussed, based on which a PA at D-band is implemented for efficient and linear applications. The session will be concluded with a presentation on a 10–230GHz InP distributed amplifier using Darlington quadruple-stacked HBTs.

Abstract

This session covers wave-material interactions ranging from microwave microscopy to high-power-density plasma generation. Near-field microscopy for high-resolution material characterization at room and cryogenic temperatures is shown using frequencies from 2 to 12GHz. Additionally, resonator-based field enhancement is shown for low-power plasma generation in the 2.45GHz ISM band.
