The rapid growth of the data traffic demands new ways to achieve high-speed wireless links. The backbone networks, data centers, mission-critical applications, as well as end-users sitting in office or home, all require ultra-high throughput and ultra-low latency wireless links. Sophisticated technological advancement and huge bandwidth are required to reduce the latency. Terahertz band, in this regard, has a huge potential to provide these high-capacity links where a user can download the file in a few seconds. To realize the high-capacity wireless links for future applications, in this book, different aspects of the Terahertz band wireless communication network are presented. This book highlights the Terahertz channel characteristics and modeling, antenna design and beamforming, device characterization, applications, and protocols. It also provides state-of-the-art knowledge on different communication aspects of Terahertz communication and techniques to realize the true potential of the Terahertz band for wireless communication.

With speeds of up to 20 gigabits per second and the ability to support up to one million devices per square kilometer, 5G — the current generation of mobile communications technology — may seem impressive, but 6G is set to take these capabilities even further. Envisioned to deliver a peak data rate of 1 terabit per second and latency of 100 microseconds or less, 6G must be able to seamlessly and securely deliver data in an ever increasingly saturated network of wireless connections without exceeding the energy requirements of 5G.This book covers every aspect of future communications, from key technologies, to design challenges, network requirements, and users experiences; to standardization, chip design, and industry applications from 5G to 6G. It presents the requirements and use cases of 6G, RF transceivers roadmap for 2030 and beyond, and modeling of RF devices for 5G/6G applications. In here, a modified Shannon's capacity formula that is critical for future advanced wireless communications such as 6G is discussed for the first time. It also presents the standardization of 6G wireless communication systems with emphasis on Standard Development Organizations (SDOs), regulatory bodies and administrations, ITU, industry forums, and 6G standard timeline. The book presents an RF/mm-wave integrated circuit design for future communications to provides readers with an easy-to-understand overview of voltage-controlled oscillators, power amplifiers, low-noise amplifiers, frequency synthesizers, high-frequency dividers, and chip-to-chip communications isolation technology.This book is an excellent reference for readers specializing in electrical and electronic engineering, wireless communication, integrated circuit design, circuits and systems, to learn more about 5G and even 6G communication standards and RF/mm-wave IC design. In particular, professionals working in the foundry, fabless semiconductor companies, original equipment manufacturers, and integrated device manufacturers will also benefit from this book.

This book examines the critical differences between current and next-generation Si technologies (CMOS, BiCMOS and SiC) and technology platforms (e.g. system-on-chip) in mm-wave wireless applications. We provide a basic overview of the two technologies from a technical standpoint, followed by a review of the state-of-the-art of several key building blocks in wireless systems. The influences of system requirements on the choice of semiconductor technology are vital to understanding the merits of CMOS and BiCMOS devices – e.g., output power, battery life, adjacent channel interference, cost restrictions, and so forth. These requirements, in turn, affect component-level design and performance metrics of oscillators, mixers, power and low-noise amplifiers, as well as phase-locked loops and data converters. Finally, the book offers a peek into the next generation of wireless technologies such as THz -band systems and future 6G applications.
