An 1.25Gb/s 60GHz-band compact transceiver module with ASK modulation scheme has been developed. A driver for the MOD SW is co-integrated in the modulator circuit for high speed operation. CPW MMICs and planar filters were flip-chip mounted in TX and RX LTCC MCMs. The transmitter exhibits 9.6dBm output power, and the receiver shows -50dBm minimum received power for 1.25Gb/s error-free transmission. The transceiver module size is as small as 82×53×7mm{sup}3 (30cc).
