Fujikura Ltd. will present the latest 28 GHz band phased array antenna module (PAAM) FutureAccess™ high-power version Type-C for 5G base stations at the IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium 2024 (IMS2024). At booth #2060, Fujikura will showcase the Type-C module and demonstrate for the first time a 256-element antenna module equipped with 4 PAAMs. Additionally, Five oral presentations on PAAMs will be delivered at the symposium, including joint presentations with Rohde & Schwarz, Avnet and MathWorks.

In addition to the static display featuring the "FutureAccess™" Type-C module, they will also have a 256-element antenna module with four PAAMs arranged in a 22 arrangement for a live demonstration.
In the demo, the R&S®ATS800B CATR benchtop antenna test system provided by Rohde & Schwarz will be used to create a far-field in a compact environment.
The transmitting output of an antenna module composed of 4 PAAMs is 16x that of a single PAAM, and the receiving sensitivity is 4x that of a single PAAM, greatly improving communication distance with mobile media. What sets our PAAM apart is its unique calibration-free design, which allows for this exceptional transmission and reception performance without the need for calibration.
You will be able to check its reception performance in a live demo.
The Fujikura PAAM is a fully integrated module consisting of an array antenna, beamformer ICs, a frequency converter IC and filters. It offers the highest performance in the industry and is intended for both indoor and outdoor applications such as fixed wireless access connecting a telecommunications carrier and its subscribers, high speed mobile wireless access for mobile terminals, and trunk lines between carrier backbone networks and base stations (wireless backhaul).
