Going from a 5G Vision to Real Implementation Presented by Fredrik Tillman | ESSCIRC 2019 Tutorial

Abstract: Stretching beyond traditional mobile access, 5G is on a quest to transform connectivity as we know it today. With the ambition to provide data sharing anywhere at any time, for anyone and anything, the implementation challenges are demanding. This will also change the network deployment strategy and associated hardware realization in a profound way. On top, the spectrum availability has never been more diverse, which will further challenge traditional architectural approaches. This workshop presentation will highlight different 5G scenarios and their implications on the transceiver hardware. Transceiver block level requirements will be discussed, as well as tradeoffs in terms of building practice, antenna integration, and cost. Bio: Fredrik Tillman received his Msc and PhD in Circuit Design from Lund University in 2000 and 2005 respectively. From 2006 through 2007 he worked on CMOS RF ASIC design at Ericsson Mobile Platforms in Lund (Sweden) and Raleigh (USA). Since 2008 Dr. Tillman has been a technical manager at Ericsson Research with focus on CMOS circuit design, and acted as the Ericsson responsible for several European collaboration projects. In 2015 Dr. Tillman worked on the Ericsson radio DOT system in Ottawa (Canada) and is currently heading the Integrated Radio Systems department at Ericsson Research.
