Main important results
After a preliminary study of architecture, one allows to respect the specification
Figure 6: 60GHZ RF front-end architecture selected
The system called M5HESTIA 60RX downconverter is composed of 3 parts:
- A transmitarray antenna to generate multi-beams ( 8 in our case)
- The downconverter integrating the antennas (primary source of the transmitarray)
- The LO (Local Oscillator) generation, DC power repartition, frequency intermediary analog processing
The work has been shared between:
- the design of a wide scan angle transmit array antenna (available pdf: WP2_wideScan)
- and the design and the system integration of the M5HESTIA 60GHz-FI downconverter (available pdf: WP2_60GHz-FI-downconverter)
Then according to the intended application, different multibeam 60GHz systems (available pdf: WP2_multibeam60GHz ) are possible.
Future works
This work will be directly exploited in the project mmWSounder in the framework of “Action –Innovation” of Cominlabs where the objective is to integrate this module in a full channel sounder based on Software Defined Radio equipment. All partners will be involed.
