A 60-GHz 16QAM 11Gbps direct-conversion transceiver in 65nm CMOS

摘要

This paper presents a 60-GHz direct-conversion transceiver using 60-GHz quadrature oscillators. The 65nm CMOS transceiver realizes the IEEE802.15.3c full-rate wireless communication for every 16QAM/8PSK/QPSK/BPSK mode. The maximum data rates with an antenna built in a package are 8 Gbps in QPSK mode and 11 Gbps in 16QAM mode within a BER of < 10⁻³. The transceiver consumes 186mW while transmitting, and 106mW while receiving. The PLL also consumes 66mW.
