Studies on Selected Topics in Radio Frequency Digital-to-Analog Converters

Abstract

The network latency in fifth generation mobile technology (5G) will be around one millisecond which is much lower than in 4G technology. This significantly faster response time together with higher information capacity and ultra-reliable communication in 5G technology will pave the way for future innovations in a smart and connected society. This new 5G network should be built on a reasonable wireless infrastructure and 5G radio base stations that can be vastly deployed. That is, while the electrical specification of a radio base station in 5G should be met in order to have the network functioning, the size, weight and power consumption of the radio system should be optimized to be able to commercially deploy these radios in a huge network. Last but not least I would like to especially thank my soulmate and my love Hoda. Without all your help, your devotion and patience, I would not be able to complete this work. Therefore, I dedicate this work to you.
