Building the Path to Ubiquitous Wireless Connectivity, from Materials to Systems

Abstract

Wireless systems and applications evolve together with the semiconductor technologies that make them possible. An essential element of such systems is the RF Front End (RFFE). In this paper, selected contributions of engineered substrates to the mobile 5G and Wi-Fi devices RFFE performance are studied. It provides guidance on required substrate evolution needed to address new and emerging challenges associated with next generation of wireless systems.
