UT Dallas IEEE SSCS Tech Talk #2: Dr. Ali Niknejad

IEEE Solid-State Circuit Society at UT Dallas Tech Talk #2

Title: The Path to Tb/s Wireless Communication

By Dr. Ali Niknejad
Professor, University of California, Berkeley
Distinguished Lecturer for Solid-State Circuits Society (SSCS)

ABSTRACT
This talk will highlight recent advances in high-speed wireless communications at UC Berkeley using mm-wave and sub-THz frequency bands. In particular, we will demonstrate that using mm-waves and MIMO techniques has the potential to unlock extremely high bandwidth communication, even approaching Tb/s links. The talk will begin by highlighting advances in 5G and WiFi technology and differentiate this from recent work in academia. Specifications for noise, power, phase-noise, and linearity will be reviewed from the perspective of building large arrays or massive MIMO systems. The focus will be on integrated circuits, packaging, and CMOS devices for the realization of such links.
