内容简介:

Millimeter-Wave band can provide large and free spectrum. Using millimeter-wave band is a practical way to achieve wireless Giga-bit data rate. Currently, both next generation WiFi (IEEE 802.11ad) and 5G wireless mobile communication are considering shifting the carrier frequency to the millimeter-wave band. In conventional wireless communication systems, baseband and RF designs are usually separated. However, for millimeter-wave communication systems, to achieve low cost and low power, as well as high yield and consistent performance in commercial mass production, joint design of baseband algorithms and RF architectures is necessary. In this talk, we first review some cases where joint baseband and RF design can provide better performance. Then, as a specific example, we look at the In-phase and Quadrature (IQ) imbalance calibration in direction conversion millimeter-wave transceivers. We propose a joint design method, where, in RF, a digitally controlled filter with several different frequency responses is added in the loopback path, and in baseband, an algorithm is designed, which can simultaneously calibrate frequency dependent transmitter (TX) and receiver (RX) IQ imbalances. The proposed method does not require the filter to be specifically designed, so, compared with existing methods, it is easy to implement. Also, to separate the TX and RX IQ imbalances, the proposed method only needs to calculate the inverse of 2x2 matrices, whose complexity is lower than existing methods. In addition, the proposed calibration method is applicable to both single carrier and OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) systems. The performance of the proposed method is analyzed, and simulation results are provided to confirm the performance.
