To accomodate the high data-rate required for the fifth generation mobile communication (5G), lager bandwidth channel are design, in particolar 5G operates below 6 GHz and above 24 GHz. In the reality of the 5G we can find many opportinities to realize innovative design to improve performances, for example baseband filters with programmable bandwidth, Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) with high linearity performances.
