A review of key development areas in low-cost packaging and integration of future E-band mm-wave transceivers

Abstract: Abstract-With an ever increasing number of broadband applications in sub-Saharan Africa, mm-wave point-to-point networking has the potential to fill a niche in communications network architectures. Widespread adoption of this technology would benefit from conventional RF soft substrate integration and packaging, as opposed to system-on-chip or thick film processes. A review on the state-of-the-art in E-band soft substrate systems reveals significant reliance on MMICs. We propose that hybrid integration of acti… Show more

“…The millimeter-wave spectrum (30 -300 GHz), and in particular the lightly licensed E-band (60 -90 GHz), offers significant unused spectrum for automotive RADAR and communications backhaul applications [1]. Although the development of deep submicron nodes in CMOS and SiGe BiCMOS [2] have led to commercially feasible mm-wave front-ends suitable for system-on-chip (SoC) integration [3], there is still no compact, low-loss solution to effective channelization on-chip.…”
