“…tions [87]- [89]. However, the advantage of ABF comes at the cost of handling only a single input data stream, which limits the signal processing and multiplexing capability of the system [43], [83], thus mmWave wireless systems can be further enhanced by relying on hybrid analogue-digital techniques, as proposed in [8], [13], [48], [90], [91].…”

Abstract-The millimeter wave (mmWave) frequency band spanning from 30 GHz to 300 GHz constitutes a substantial portion of the unused frequency spectrum, which is an important resource for future wireless communication systems in order to fulfill the escalating capacity demand. Given the improvements in integrated components and enhanced power efficiency at high frequencies, wireless systems can operate in the mmWave frequency band. In this paper, we present a survey of the mmWave propagation characteristics, channel modeling and design guidelines, such as system and antenna design considerations for mmWave, including the link budget of the network, which are essential for mmWave communication systems. We commence by introducing the main channel propagation characteristics of mmWaves followed by channel modeling and design guidelines. Then, we report on the main measurement and modeling campaigns conducted in order to understand the mmWave band's properties and present the associated channel models. We survey the different channel models focusing on the channel models available for the 28 GHz, 38 GHz, 60 GHz and 73 GHz frequency bands. Finally, we present the mmWave channel model and its challenges in the context of mmWave communication systems design.

Abstract-The millimeter wave (mmWave) bands have recently attracted considerable interest for next-generation cellular systems due to the massive spectrum at these frequencies. However, a key challenge in designing mmWave cellular systems is initial access -the procedure by which a mobile device establishes an initial link-layer connection to a base station cell. MmWave communication relies on highly directional transmissions and the initial access procedure must thus provide a mechanism by which initial transmission directions can be searched in a potentially large angular space. Design options are compared considering different scanning and signaling procedures to evaluate access delay and system overhead. The channel structure and multiple access issues are also considered. The results of our analysis demonstrate significant benefits of low-resolution fully digital architectures in comparison to single stream analog beamforming.

“…Also, for terrestrial-satellite backhaul network communication, 17.7-20.2 GHz for downlink and 27.5-30 GHz for uplink are considered in the Ka-band [1][2][3]. Due to the short wavelengths corresponding to these frequency bands, compact phased-array antennas can be realized using wafer-scale, on-chip antennas or printed circuit-board antennas, as well as mm-wave, complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS)-integrated circuit technology [4][5][6][7]. Many studies on the development of communication systems using multi-antenna array structures with mm-wave bands have been reported [8][9][10][11][12].…”

This paper presents two single-pole, double-throw (SPDT) mm-wave switches for Ka-band phased-array transceivers, fabricated with a 65-nm complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) process. One switch employs cross-biasing (CB) control with a single supply, while the other uses dual-supply biasing (DSB) control with positive and negative voltages. Negative voltages were generated internally, using a ring oscillator and a charge pump. Identical gate and body floated N-type metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (N-MOSFETs) in a triple well were used as the switch core transistors. Inductors were used to improve the isolation between the transmitter (TX) and receiver (RX), as well as insertion loss, by canceling the parasitic capacitance of the switch core transistors at resonance. The size of the proposed radio frequency (RF) switch is 260 µm × 230 µm, excluding all pads. The minimum insertion losses of the CB and DSB switches were 2.1 dB at 28 GHz and 1.93 dB at 24 GHz, respectively. Between 25 GHz and 34 GHz, the insertion losses were less than 2.3 dB and 2.5 dB, the return losses were less than 16.7 dB and 17.3 dB, and the isolation was over 18.4 dB and 15.3 dB, respectively. The third order input intercept points (IIP3) of the CB and DSB switches were 38.4 dBm and 39 dBm at 28 GHz, respectively.
