Compact Low-Power ICs for mm-wave Arrays Enabling Future Emerging Technologies

Ultra-scaled active devices in both CMOS and BiCMOS technologies have reached outstanding fT/fmax, enabling an ever-increasing number of future emerging applications in the microwave/mm-wave frequency range, from the next-generation (5G/6G) wireless transceivers to the most far-reaching research frontier - monolithic quantum processors. This talk addresses some fundamental and most severe design challenges for low-power mm-wave ICs, and advanced design methodologies that can mitigate the performance degradation and allow getting the largest potential out of the technologies. It reports the design of innovative building-blocks as key enabling solutions for compact low-power mm-wave array ICs operating at room and cryogenic temperatures for future emerging technologies, such as 5G/6G New Radios and Quantum Computing, respectively.
