The German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) has selected four hubs across Germany to conduct research on the upcoming mobile communications generation 6G. The "6G Research and Innovation Cluster" (6G-RIC) pursues the goal of developing mobile radio systems with open interfaces across all technological boundaries. The frequency range for 5G is between 3 GHz to 30 GHz but 6G will boldly take us to the Terahertz level, resulting in larger bandwidth and thus higher transmission rates, opening up new applications.
Being among one of the 50 Partner institutes, Institute for CMOS design will research in the Clock Generation and Distribution for the D-band transceiver architecture in both CMOS and Bi-CMOS technologies for the 6G hub.
Under the project we will design the wideband and low phase noise LO circuitry at 140 GHz of frequency and 35 GHz PLL for the data converter clock distribution. If you are interested in the mm-wave/rf circuit design then you are welcome to contact Meghana Kadam at m.kadam(at)tu-braunschweig.de.
