Product Brief
Infineon rounds off the Backhaul Family with
a packaged RF Solution for V-band Radio
Backhaul Transceiver Chip – BGT60
Infineon has a broad portfolio of packaged RF transceivers for basestation backhaul solutions –
beside BGT70 and BGT80 for E-band radio, also BGT60 for V-band radio. The family approach has
a major benefit – one architecture supporting the three backhaul frequency ranges of 60, 70 and
80GHz. Customers can easily design all three radios with the same footprint for all three transceivers.
Mobile communication and especially LTE (4G) is gaining momentum these days due to the fact
that all big carriers and mobile phone manufacturers are investing in the 4^th generation ecosystem.
The primary challenge facing this ecosystem is the fact that LTE will further enhance video and
data exchange to a maximum, allowing everybody to send their latest holiday pictures and videos
to friends. The bulk of today’s base station infrastructure is not equipped to support the required
high data throughput. The connection between the base station has up to now been planned for
lower data rates (< 100MBit/s) and now needs increased capacity. This is where wireless back-
haul technology comes into play. A solution using wireless backhaul in the V-band (57–64GHz)
will enable the 7GHz frequency to support higher data rates. This enables data rates > 1Gbit/s for
video and data services, sufficient for LTE.
