Emerging Transceiver Architectures And Technologies For Future Wireless Systems

Data communication, parametric sensing, and power transmission are the three cornerstone functions of wireless technology. Traditionally, these functions have been independently supported by specialized RF and wireless transceivers. However, recent advancements in transceiver architecture research have driven the emergence of innovative system solutions characterized by low power consumption, self-adaptive capabilities, and scalable integration. In future intelligent systems, the fusion of multiple wireless functions will fundamentally transform transceiver design frameworks. This integration promises enduring benefits, including architectural unification, system simplification, miniaturization, and reconfigurability. It also offers enhancements in efficiency, functional interplay, and cost-effectiveness. This presentation explores cutting-edge advancements and developments in multifunction transceivers and system integrations spanning frequencies from MHz to THz. It provides a comprehensive review of state-of-the-art linear and non-linear interferometric techniques, focusing on their application in multi-band and multi-structure transceiver hardware. Key concepts such as circuit-antenna unification, orthogonal mode control, full-duplex, and virtual transceiver matrix are discussed in depth. Theoretical insights are complemented by experimental demonstrations, including implementations in CMOS integrated circuits, contextualized within contemporary wireless systems like 5G, 6G, IoT, and beyond. The presentation also highlights critical research directions for advancing multifunctional wireless systems and technologies.
