Techniques to improve gain-bandwidth 5g ics

Abstract

This chapter introduces a basics of designs and techniques to improve gain-bandwidth for 5G ICs. The major focus would be on the various network topologies that yield to provide easy implementation of on-chip components for 5G-ICs. Section 1 discusses the basics of RLC tank networks, which includes RC parallel network, RLC network and series to parallel resonant network. The parameters such as quality factor, noise of filter networks are shortly refresh while foundation of resonant circuits would set-up for 5G transceiver ICs. Section 2 introduces coupled resonator networks can be used as microwave components to achieve a better gain-bandwidth trade-off. Finally, Sect. 3 will provide transformer resonators and circuit to reduce bulky components and enhance gain-bandwidth of ICs. © Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2021.
