Perspective potențiale de aplicare a unde milimetrice full duplex

Full-duplexul cu unde milimetrice are aplicații potențiale în multe domenii, cum ar fi radarul auto, 5G celular, rețele cu unde milimetrice, realitate virtuală/augmentată, și altele.

1 mm wave network

Increasingly dense devices have brought about the rapid growth of mobile data traffic, which has brought tremendous pressure on network capacity. From the perspective of the system as a whole, this is a bottleneck and is not easy to solve.

Low latency and low construction costs of the network are critical to the connection between 5G small cell sites and to other networks. Network deployment using fibre optics is difficult and costly, so it is only suitable for use in every small 5G cellular unit.

Millimeter-wave communications (such as E-band networks) can solve this problem, providing a flexible and economical alternative for 5G networks. The 60 Hz band is used for short-range wireless communication between many devices in the cell, and this band can be used without authorization. The uplink and downlink can work simultaneously, which can reduce network latency.

To this end, the E-band uses two different frequency bands (71-76 GHz și 81-86 GHz, provided by a waveguide duplexer). in orice caz, full-duplex can achieve this capability in a single frequency band, equivalent to integrating system capacity in two millimetre-wave bands.

2 mm wave full-duplex relay

A major problem with millimetre-wave wireless communications over low-frequency RF communications is that the signal attenuation is too large, and the signal attenuation in this high-band limits the distance of the wireless connection. In order to extend network coverage and increase link margin, relay nodes can be added between the transmission source and the target to provide a stable connection in harsh environments.

in orice caz, the traditional relay node uses the frequency division or time division method to achieve duplexing, resulting in inefficient use of the spectrum and high network delay. The figure below shows a way to use a millimetre-wave full-duplex relay node to extend the connection distance of a wireless network. Compared to the active half-duplex, the spectrum utilization is significantly increased and the network delay is greatly reduced.

This millimetre-wave full-duplex relay uses a separate transceiver antenna or a transceiver common antenna. For shared antennas, a millimetre-wave circulator can be used to reduce losses while maintaining channel reciprocity.

3 mm wave car radar

In the traditional onboard FM continuous-wave radar, there is an urgent problem to be solved, acesta este, the SI signal leakage. SI means that the signal leaking from the transmitting end is directly received by the receiving end, resulting in measurement errors. The antenna interface is not sufficiently isolated, or the reflection of the near target of the bumper or skin of the vehicle will cause SI.

The SI leakage signal input to the receiving end is typically much stronger than the power of the far-end target reflected signal, so the signal must be suppressed to prevent receiver saturation. The SI suppression technology developed in the background of millimetre-wave full-duplex can solve the problem of SI signal leakage of vehicle radar.

In a traditional single-base radar, a shared antenna is received and transmitted, and a mixer is used internally (theoretical loss is 3 dB, usually 4 dB). This lossy passive shared antenna can use a fully integrated high isolation low loss ring. Replace it.

4 5G small cell base station

The millimetre-wave 5G small cell 5G base station can communicate with multiple users in the adjacent channels while using the uplink and downlink, which requires the use of a high-quality millimetre-wave duplexer and is bulky. Another method is to isolate the transmitter and receiver using full-duplex technolog

De exemplu, a fully integrated low-loss, high-isolation, high-power processing circulator replaces the high-quality millimeter-wave duplexer to achieve the same antenna for both transmit and receive.

5 Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR)

The head-mounted display is capable of projecting high-quality video (such as 2160×1200 resolution) to each eye at a high frame rate (ca 90 Hz) so that the user can experience the virtual reality experience. In order to prevent bad user experience (such as dizziness, nausea, etc.), the video stream must meet high rate (20Gbps) and low latency (less than 5ms).
