Industrialisierbare Schlüsseltechnologien für Energie-effiziente Tbit-Transceiver in 6G Mobilfunksystemen (ESSENCE-6GM)

Bild

This project aims to realize scaleable D-band mm-Wave multi-antenna systems for wireless transmission up to 1 Tbit/s.

Goals include:

1. Prepare the commercial realisation of economic and highly efficient D-band transceiver systems for mobile communication with extreme high total throughput of up to 1Tbit/s over a range of several 10m’s up to 100m.

2. Pursue solutions for system architecture, system partitioning, as well as module- and component-technologies, that shall support industrial-scale production-processes and –realisation

3. Research key technologies (microelectronics, mobile communication system architecture, assembly, system integration) and components which enable scalable systems featuring high energy efficiency

 

At the IHE broadband antenna and packaging concepts will be developed and demonstrated to realize the goal of wireless transmission up to 1 Tbit/s.
