RF Design of Wideband mmWave Beamforming Systems

The current trend for wireless systems to operate at millimeter wave (mmWave) frequencies and over wide bandwidth drives challenging requirements for RF front ends. ​ In this webinar, you will learn how MATLAB and Simulink can be used for modeling RF and mmWave transceivers, performing RF budget analysis, and simulating wideband adaptive architectures. These will include RF components such as amplifiers, matching networks, and antenna arrays operating at mmWave frequencies.

Using virtual prototypes, we will simulate wideband transmitter and receiver behavior including co-existence and interference scenarios along with beam-squinting and antenna coupling. These same virtual prototypes will be used to perform dynamic EVM measurements for different communications standards such as 5G FR2.

With practical examples, we will demonstrate how to optimize baseband signal processing algorithms and control logic together with RF transceivers to compensate for RF impairments, to compensate for RF impairments, improve overall receiver sensitivity in the presence of interfering signals, and to support multiple communication standards.
