Abstract
A concurrent, tunable, tri-band, single chain radio receiver for 5G radio access networks is evaluated. The three concurrent bands are independently tunable over a frequency range from 600 MHz to 2.7 GHz. A hardware-in-the-loop test-bed provides a system level evaluation of the proposed receiver using direct RF digitization. The test-bed emulates a 5G heterogeneous network supporting three wideband, simultaneous connections. By measuring the receiver EVM, we demonstrate sufficient isolation between concurrent bands achieving 60 MHz of aggregated bandwidth as well as strong resilience to adjacent blockers.
