QUB/2665/24 Contract for the Supply, Delivery, Installation, Commissioning, Calibration and Maintenance of a Millimeter-wave (mmWave) Beamforming Transmitter, Receiver and Interferer.

Published

Description

Queen's University Belfast seeks to enhance its research capabilities in 5G/B5G/6G mmWave technology. The required equipment will be used to develop and emulate a mmWave 5G base station (BS), a user equipment (UE) pair, and an interfering transmitter (interfering UE). <br /><br />Specifically, the university requires the following: <br /><br />• Transmitter mmWave Beamforming Phased Array <br />Preferably a uniform rectangular array, emulating a mmWave 5G BS antenna. <br /><br />o Operational Frequency: 26.5-29.5 GHz <br />o Channels: > 12 <br />o Control Interfaces available <br /><br />This beamformer will serve as a tool for mmWave signal transmission, providing precise control over signal parameters across multiple channels. <br /><br />• Receiver mmWave Beamforming Phased Array <br /> A uniform linear or rectangular array, emulating a mmWave 5G UE antenna. <br /><br />o Operational Frequency: 26.5-29.5 GHz. <br />o Channels: > 2 <br />o Control Interfaces available <br /><br />This compact beamformer will be used to emulate a UE or handset antenna, requiring fewer channels. <br /><br />• Standalone 5G mmWave Tx/Rx antenna or phased array <br />Includes a phased antenna array and standalone LNA/Amplifier, covering frequencies between 26.5-29.5 GHz. This equipment will be used as an interfering UE in the BS-UE pair experiments described above. <br /><br />• Up/Down Converters <br />Required for each beamformer with an RF operational range of 26.5-29.5 GHz. These converters are essential for frequency conversion tasks in the development and testing of mmWave signals. <br /><br />• 2xUSRP Software Defined Radio (SDR) <br /><br />These should have ADC and DAC resolutions of 10+ bits, sampling rate: 150+ MS/s, and frequency range of 5+ GHz <br /><br />• Cables and Connectors <br />The contract will also include all necessary RF and IF cables with the required configurations (K-type, SMA, 2.92 Plug), ensuring seamless integration from the Rx to Tx side, as well as for the interfering beamformer setup. <br />
