Abstract

The explosive growth in areas of mobile subscriber, wireless network access, mobile services and applications shows evidences of the continuous expansion of cellular communication bandwidth requirement. The 5G (fifth generation) mobile communication standard aims to solve the substantially increased requirement of data rate and the avalanche of traffic volume. One of the promising solutions is to use the millimeter wave frequency band to get the wide available spectrum. To overcome these unfavorable channel properties, i.e. high path loss, propagation loss, rain fading…,e.t.c., the beam-forming, beam tracking together with phased array antenna are the most crucial key technologies.In this paper, we describe the system specifications and the design considerations of the architecture for the RF and beam forming of the 5G mmWave communication system. Then the design challenges and development trends of the 5G mmWave front-end module are presented. Finally, ITRI’s developed 28GHz 5G millimeter-wave development and verification platform is introduced which adopts the hybrid beam-forming architecture designed with a 8/16/32/64-antenna phased antenna array for gNB and/or UE to implement the beam-forming technology, also a beam-tracking algorithm is developed to support the mobile transmission over 100Km/hr.

5G毫米波技术设计挑战与发展趋势

移动用户、无线网络接入、移动业务和应用领域的爆炸式增长表明了蜂窝通信带宽需求的不断扩大。5G(第五代)移动通信标准旨在解决数据速率大幅增长的需求和流量的雪崩。一个很有前途的解决方案是使用毫米波频段来获得广泛的可用频谱。为了克服这些不利的信道特性，即高路径损耗、传播损耗、雨衰落等。其中，波束形成、波束跟踪以及相控阵天线是最关键的关键技术。在本文中，我们描述了5G毫米波通信系统的射频和波束形成的系统规格和架构的设计考虑。然后介绍了5G毫米波前端模块的设计挑战和发展趋势。最后，介绍了工研院研发的28GHz 5G毫米波开发验证平台，该平台采用8/16/32/64天线相控阵设计的混合波束形成架构，用于gNB和/或UE，实现波束形成技术，并开发了波束跟踪算法，支持100Km/hr以上的移动传输。
