Challenges designing within the ‘E-Band’
Designing electronic equipment within the emerging ‘E-band’ of 71-76GHz and 81-86 GHz is raising new issues that were not present at lower frequencies. This is the subject of a discussion that Plextek’s Liam Devlin will present at the next ARMMS conference. The paper, titled ‘The Design of E-band MMIC Amplifiers’ will look at the design and implementation of E-band MMIC amplifiers including the choice of process, the design challenges and practical approaches to addressing these challenges.
“The worldwide availability of a large amount of spectrum at 71-76GHz and 81-86 GHz (commonly known as 'E-band') for high data-rate wireless links has led to substantial interest and the design of electronic equipment at such high frequencies is challenging,” said Liam Devlin, Director of RF Integration at Plextek. “Parasitic effects that were negligible at microwave frequencies become problematic and the availability of suitable active components is very restricted. With this in mind custom GaAs MMICs offer a route to realising low-cost, reproducible E-band components.”
The conference takes place from Monday 19th April to Tuesday 20th April 2010 at Milton Hill House in Oxfordshire. The ARMMS RF and Microwave Society is an independent professional society comprised of Electronics Engineers with an interest in high frequency (RF & Microwave) design and measurement.
