Review And Analysis of Application of Conductive Polymer Composites in Power-Efficient RF Circuits For 5G PAPR Reduction
Abstract: The need for low power RF circuits has gained more importance in the background of fifth-generation (5G) wireless communication systems, since the inherent PAPR characteristic of 5G signals—especially when using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) based techniques—becomes high. This high PAPR limits the efficiency of RF power amplifiers, increases power consumption, and induces thermal management challenges. In this context, conductive polymer composites (CPCs), based on advanced polymer matrices integrated with …
