Novel mm-Wave/Terahertz Transceivers Overcoming the Fundamental Limitations of Conventional Architectures

There is a widely held belief that going all digital solution is the pathway to design modern RF transceivers. This talk challenges this very notion for emerging next-G wireless communication. This seminar shows that when it comes to implementation of ultra-high data rates in excess of 10 Gbps, going all way to 100 Gbps and above, the all-digital design faces some incredible challenges that are impossible to address in silicon technologies. The talk then presents the novel idea of realizing modulation and demodulation schemes directly in RF domain. Three transmitter/receiver chip prototypes are presented that utilize this idea to achieve extremely power-efficient 15+ Gbps data rates.
