A Low Power CMOS Single-chip Receiver and System-on-Package for 60GHz mobile applications

摘要

A low power single-chip CMOS receiver and system-on-package(SoP) in the low -temperature co-fir ed ceramic (LTCC) module for 60GHz mobile application are proposed. The single-chip receiver consists of a 4-stage current re-use LNA, C_(gs) compensating resistive mixer, Ka-band low phase noise VCO, high-suppression frequency doubler, and 2-stage current re-use drive amplifier. The size of the fabricated receiver using a standard 0.13μm CMOS technology is 2.67mm×0.75mm including probing pads. An RF bandwidth is 6.2GHz, from 55 to 61.2GHz and an LO tuning range is 7.14GHz, from 48.45GHz to 55.59GHz. The conversion gain and input P 1dB are -9.5dB and -12.5dBm, respectively, at RF frequency of 59GHz. The proposed single-chip receiver describes very good noise performances and linearity with very low DC power consumption of only 21.9mW. The CMOS single-chip receiver and a L TCC 2×2 patch array antenna with 8.9dBi antenna gain compose the LTCC SoP module for 60GHz mobile applications.
