Abstract

A concurrent, tunable, triple-band, single chain radio receiver for 5G radio access networks is presented and its performance is evaluated in a hardware-in-the-loop test-bed. The test-bed emulates a 5G heterogeneous network supporting three independently tunable, wideband, simultaneous connections over a frequency range from 600 MHz to 2.7 GHz. The single chain receiver is able to achieve an aggregate bandwidth of 93.75 MHz, 31.25 MHz per band, and a net data rate of 187.5 Mbit/s through the use of single-carrier QPSK transmissions. The receiver demonstrate sufficient isolation between the concurrent transmissions as well as strong resilience to adjacent blockers through the use of a small guard band.
