摘要
A millimeter wave agile multi-beam front-end with an integrated 4 by 1 antenna array for 5th generation wireless communications is analyzed by antenna and digital communication measurements. The front-end core comprises a compact low-temperature co-fired ceramic multilayer module with a footprint area of 74 mm x 74 mm. An over-the-air gain of 50.4 dB and a noise figure of 4.9 dB were measured. Link measurements with broadband single-carrier QAM and OFDM signals result in a data rate of 3.2 Gb/s for 400 MHz bandwidth SC-256QAM modulation with 1.2% error vector magnitude of the front-end determined by a detailed analysis.
