Partnership aims to speed up networks’ capacity & coverage
The two organisations will create a common lab to develop low profile, millimeter-wave antenna solutions for backhaul/fronthaul applications.
The ultra-dense 5G infrastructure systems that will be needed to accommodate high-speed mobile data traffic and IoT data requires low-cost, robust and reliable RF subsystems capable of high-speed, point-to-point communication at millimeter-wave frequencies. These demands include compact and reconfigurable antennas that can be integrated in public places with low deployment cost.
At millimeter-wave frequencies between 30 and 300 GHz, severe path loss must be compensated through high-gain antennas enabled by transmit-array designs. CEA-Leti previously collaborated with Radiall on transmit-array technology development. This collaboration resulted in a V-band (57-66 GHz) high-gain (32 dBi) antenna delivering up to 20 Gb/s that Radiall added to its product line.
Multi-source transmit-array architecture is a promising solution to address this challenge because it minimises the thickness of the antenna while maintaining the stability of the antenna gain over the entire bandwidth and controlling the sidelobe levels.
