RF Technology for 5G Radio Base Stations

This webcast will discuss the challenges and opportunities for innovation in RF technology for the emerging 5G radio. We'll start with an overview of 5G and the impact on the radio; then discuss 5G radio for both sub 6Ghz and mm wave frequency ranges. Sub 6 GHz will discuss enabling the massive MIMO form factor; mm wave will focus on integration considerations for the hybrid beamforming systems and the choices available for the mm wave radio.


Dr. Thomas Cameron is the Director of Wireless Technology at Analog Devices. In this role he contributes to industry leading innovation in integrated circuits for cellular basestation systems. He is currently working on the research and development of radio technology for 5G systems in both cellular and mmwave frequency bands. Prior to his current role at Analog Devices he was Director of Systems Engineering for the Communications Business Unit.

Dr. Cameron has over 30 years of experience in research and development of technology for telecom networks including cellular basestations, microwave radios and cable systems. Prior to joining Analog Devices in 2006, he led the development of a broad range of RF systems and technologies at Bell Northern Research, Nortel, Sirenza Microdevices and WJ Communications.

Dr. Cameron holds a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology. He has 7 patents in wireless technology and has authored numerous technical papers and articles.
