This article presents a 28 GHz switch and LNA chipset, and the RF front‐end module for 5G communication systems. The 28 GHz Single Pole Double Through (SPDT) switch and LNA MMICs are embedded in single RF front‐end module successfully using molding based embedded Wafer‐Level Package (eWLP) technology. For the low noise figure and high isolation, inductive source degenerated LNA topology and double shunt FET structure for SPDT switch are employed, and LNA and SPDT are implemented in single IC. The eWLP based package minimizes the parasitic component such as bond‐wire inductance and signals loss to enhance the performance of the RF front‐end module. At 28 GHz, the measured gain and noise figure of receiver path are 15.5 dB and 3.46 dB, respectively, and the IIP3 is +3 dBm at 45 mW power consumption.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
