Existing telecommunication and data communication networks are
evolving towards extremely high capacity and data-rate connections that
will require innovative transceiver architectures. For wireless data links,
beyond 5G and 6G and systems will be required in the next 5 to 10 years
able to provide 100Gb/s or higher data rates by efficiently using the wide
spectrum available at millimeter-wave (mmW) or sub-THz frequencies.
Traditional transceiver architecture that have been used in the past may
result too power consuming or simply not performant enough to respond
to this challenge.
The LETI research institute has been conducting research during the lasts
year in the field of innovative modulations schemes and transceiver
architectures trying to respond to the above-mentioned high data-rate in
wireless environments considering the limitation imposed by existing
electronic devices required to build the transceivers. This thesis subject
will explore the practical implementation of circuits based on innovative
modulation schemes and architectures for high-speed, large-bandwidth,
imperfection resilient mmW receivers for beyond 5G and 6G
telecommunication applications and other high data-rate wireless
communications applications.
