  • RTT TECHNOLOGY TOPIC January 2015 Defence Spectrum – the New Battleground?
    RTT TECHNOLOGY TOPIC January 2015 Defence Spectrum – the new battleground? In this month’s technology topic we look at contemporary military radio developments, the integration of LTE user devices into defence communication systems, the relevance of military research to 5 G deployment efficiency and related spectral utilisation and regulatory issues. Defence communication systems are deployed across the whole radio spectrum from long wave to light. This includes mobile communication systems at VHF and UHF and L Band and S band, LEO, MEO and GSO satellite systems (VHF to E band) and mobile and fixed radar (VHF to E band). Legacy defence systems are being upgraded to provide additional functionality. This requires more rather than less spectrum. Increased radar resolution requires wider channel bandwidths; longer range requires more power and improved sensitivity. Improved sensitivity increases the risk of inter system interference. Emerging application requirements including unmanned aerial vehicles require a mix of additional terrestrial, satellite and radar bandwidth. These requirements are geographically and spectrally diverse rather than battlefield and spectrally specific. The assumption in many markets is that the defence industry will be willing and able to surrender spectrum for mobile broadband consumer and civilian use. The AWS 3 auction in the US is a contemporary example with a $5 billion transition budget to cover legacy military system decommissioning in the DOD coordination zone between 1755 and 1780 MHz This transition strategy assumes an increased use of LTE network hardware and user hardware in battlefield systems. While this might imply an opportunity for closer coordination and cooperation between the mobile broadband and defence community it seems likely that an increase in the amount of defence bandwidth needed to support a broadening range of RF dependent systems could be a problematic component in the global spectral allocation and auction process.

A.2 Radio Frequency Plan (§25.114(c)(4)) The Athena satellite will have two E-band uplinks and two E-band downlinks. The downlink emissions are nominally centered at 72 GHz and 75 GHz and the uplink emissions are nominally centered at 82 GHz and 85 GHz1. The bandwidth for both the uplinks and downlinks is 2.1852 GHz. The TT&C uplink will be conducted at 2082 MHz with an occupied bandwidth of 1.5 MHz. The TT&C downlink will be conducted at 8496.25 MHz with an occupied bandwidth of 2.3 MHz. Table A.2-1 shows the frequency ranges to be used by the Athena satellite. 1 There is the possibility that mild tuning may be performed from the planned 72, 75, 82 and 85 GHz centered carriers (e.g., 74.8 and 82.2 GHz may be used for example to mitigate any potential, mild “inter-channel interference” due to spectral regrowth issues and limited transmit- to-receive isolation). In addition, a limited number of tests, estimated at one to two dozen, may be performed with continuous wave (CW), unmodulated carriers as far out as the band edges (i.e., 71-76 GHz and 81-82 GHz) to measure the atmospheric attenuation characteristics.

  • Terahertz Band: the Last Piece of RF Spectrum Puzzle for Communication Systems Hadeel Elayan, Osama Amin, Basem Shihada, Raed M
    1 Terahertz Band: The Last Piece of RF Spectrum Puzzle for Communication Systems Hadeel Elayan, Osama Amin, Basem Shihada, Raed M. Shubair, and Mohamed-Slim Alouini Abstract—Ultra-high bandwidth, negligible latency and seamless communication for devices and applications are envisioned as major milestones that will revolutionize the way by which societies create, distribute and consume information. The remarkable expansion of wireless data traffic that we are witnessing recently has advocated the investigation of suitable regimes in the radio spectrum to satisfy users’ escalating requirements and allow the development and exploitation of both massive capacity and massive connectivity of heterogeneous infrastructures. To this end, the Terahertz (THz) frequency band (0.1-10 THz) has received noticeable attention in the research community as an ideal choice for scenarios involving high-speed transmission. Particularly, with the evolution of technologies and devices, advancements in THz communication is bridging the gap between the millimeter wave (mmW) and optical frequency ranges. Moreover, the IEEE 802.15 suite of standards has been issued to shape regulatory frameworks that will enable innovation and provide a complete solution that crosses between wired and wireless boundaries at 100 Gbps. Nonetheless, despite the expediting progress witnessed in THz Fig. 1. Wireless Roadmap Outlook up to the year 2035. wireless research, the THz band is still considered one of the least probed frequency bands. As such, in this work, we present an up-to-date review paper to analyze the fundamental elements I. INTRODUCTION and mechanisms associated with the THz system architecture. THz generation methods are first addressed by highlighting The race towards improving human life via developing the recent progress in the electronics, photonics as well as different technologies is witnessing a rapid pace in diverse plasmonics technology.

  • The Need for E-Band
    Sky Light Research Mobile World Congress 2013 Mobile Data Backhaul: The Need For E‐Band by Emmy Johnson We’ve been hearing about the bandwidth bottleneck for years, and as LTE and more broadband intensive applications are rolled out, rapidly increasing mobile data traffic will continue to threaten the stability of the network. This is especially a critical issue in urban centers where subscribers and mobile data traffic are the most concentrated. Thanks to the increasing popularity of smart phones from the likes of Apple and Samsung, mobile data is expected to continue to grow unabated the foreseeable future. Cisco’s most recent mobile data forecast predicted that mobile data will grow 13x over the next five years, from 0.9 Exabytes per month in 2012 to 11.2 Exabytes in 2017. Thus the question becomes, how do operators keep up with this level of exponential growth while keeping mobile services on par with customers’ expectations? There are several ways that operators are combatting this growth, through innovation in both the RAN and backhaul segments of the networks. The concept of small cells through heterogeneous networks is undoubtedly the most touted modernization, and although this is new, and very promising, there are still regulatory and cost details that need to be worked out to create cost-effective ROIs, especially in the outdoor model. In the interim, another, but not as sexy, solution exists in the backhaul - replacing legacy SDH microwave links with faster, packet based millimeterwave radio links. While it’s true that fiber is the preferred mode of backhauling traffic, it is not always available and cost effective.

A tendency of shifting from traditional high-power tower-mounted base stations towards heterogeneous elements can be spotted, which is mainly caused by the increase of annual wireless users and devices connected to the network. The radio frequency (RF) power amplifier (PA) performance directly affects the efficiency of any transmitter, therefore, the emerging 5G cellular network requires new PA architectures with improved efficiency without sacrificing linearity. A review of the most promising reported RF PA architectures is presented in this article, emphasizing advantages, disadvantages and concluding with a quantitative comparison. The main scope of reviewed papers are PAs implemented in scalable complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) and SiGe BiCMOS processes with output powers suitable for portable wireless devices under 32 dBm (1.5 W) in the low- and high- 5G network frequency ranges. Keywords: power amplifier; architecture; radio frequency; wireless; network; 5G; trends 1. Introduction The first most primitive radio transmitter that was used for telegraphy was developed in the early 1890s by Guglielmo Marconi.

But even given these facts, (1530nm-1565nm) in Figure 1, where fiber the OPEX cost savings in dark fiber leases/IRUs that L-band attenuation is lowest (see below). However, as deployment enables is so large, it is easily one of the most network traffic continues to grow rapidly, driven attractive options for network operators to increase network largely by video traffic, network operators are capacity cost-effectively. quickly running out of C-band spectrum to increase Advances in technology such as coherent optical detection network capacity.
