Launched at the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) on 24 July 2019, CMOS Millimeter-Wave Integrated Circuits for Next Generation Wireless Communication Systems is World Scientific's latest publication for 5G technology, co-authored by Prof Kiat-Seng Yeo (Associate Provost for Research and International Relations, Singapore University of Technology and Design, Singapore), Prof Chirn Chye Boon (Associate Professor, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore), Dr Xiang Yi (Postdoctoral Fellow, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA), and Prof Fanyi Meng (Associate Professor, Tianjin University, China).
The concern of power consumption has always been part of the design process but was less visible for millimeter-wave (MMW) integrated circuits and systems. However, due to the explosive growth of mobile devices and 5G connectivity, wireless transmission at greater than one Gigabit-per-second (Gbps) data rates is becoming essential. As a result, the network infrastructure will be endowed with an unprecedented degree of intelligence, integrating with the environment and offering fast, secure, and reliable communications.
It is extremely challenging to achieve Gbps data rate applications below a 6-GHz band due to spectrum scarcity. Therefore, the MMW band has drawn increasing interest over recent years for enabling ultra-high-speed wireless transmission. It will transform the way we live, play, work and travel while delivering more performance, efficiency and comfort as well as provide a huge leap forward in speed, capacity and connectivity.
Combining MMW integrated circuit design and RF System-on-Chip models, this book serves to provide the fundamentals of MMW CMOS technology, together with the advances in the area. Innovative concepts and techniques of new integrated circuit design for developing high performance and low power circuits and systems for present and future wireless communication applications are detailed. The information presented shall be extremely beneficial and valuable to personnel who is already working or about to embark in this interdisciplinary area of wireless communication and semiconductor industry. For the many years to come, high speed wireless connectivity together with the search for even lower power requirements will continue. MMW CMOS technology is the answer for such ever-increasing demand.
CMOS Millimeter-Wave Integrated Circuits for Next Generation Wireless Communication Systems retails for US$98 / £85 (hardback). Find out more about the book and its authors on https://www.worldscientific.com/worldscibooks/10.1142/11341.
