Abstract
A low-power 90nm CMOS 60GHz transceiver that includes RF, LO, PLL and BB integrated into a single chip is designed. With a 1.2V supply the chip consumes 170mW while transmitting 10dBm, and 138mW while receiving. Measured data transmission up to 5Gb/s on each of I and Q channels, and data reception over a 1m wireless link at 4Gb/s QPSK with less than 10^-11 BER are demonstrated.
