Key enabling technologies for future wireless wired optical and satcom applications

This book presents the latest research roadmaps and achievements from the European ecosystem (industry research and academia) driving the development of future wireless wired optical and satcom applications utilising the mm-wave and sub-THz bands. It covers the entire value chain including technologies devices characterisation architectures circuits 3D heterogeneous integration and packaging.As the interconnectedness of our world continues to expand the importance of global innovation in communication systems and technologies grows significantly. The increasing reliance on digital communication necessitates systems that can manage higher data traffic provide faster and more reliable connectivity and sustainably support a diverse range of applications. Achieving these goals requires a shift towards higher frequency bands (mm-wave and sub-THz) and the adoption of disruptive technologies. Heterogeneous integration of (Bi)CMOS SOI and III/V components such as GaN or InP along with advanced packaging techniques is essential to realise ubiquitous ultra-high bandwidth and low latency networks. To ensure that future communication systems are not only technologically advanced but also sustainable and responsible it is crucial to minimize their environmental impact by considering the materials used manufacturing processes operational efficiency and recyclability.The book captures the synergetic interactions between European Chips JU projects SHIFT and Move2THz the European 3D heterogenous integration and packaging community and the MTT-TC9 society. These interactions were forged during the International Workshop on Key Enabling Technologies for Future Wireless Wired Optical and Satcom Applications at the European Microwave Week in Paris France on 22 September 2024.Whether you are a professional in the field or simply interested in the future of communication technologies this book offers invaluable insights into the technological breakthroughs shaping our digital future.The Open Access version of this book available at taylorfrancis has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial (CC-BY-NC) 4.0 license.
