摘要: A complete Digital Front-End (DFE) processor for 60 GHz polar transmitter is presented. It avoids supply modulating, RF limiters, and AM detection circuits, compared to traditional analog-centric architectures. The front-end consists of i) a poly-phase Cascaded Integrator-Comb (CIC) filter spectrum shaping; ii) parallel COordinate Rotation DIgital Computer (CORDICs) rectangular-to-polar conversion; iii) Power Amplifier (PA) non-linearities pre-distortion units using Look-Up Tables (LUTs). designed in two-phase latch-based pipeline achieve throughput 4×1.76 Gsps. Implemented standard 28 nm CMOS technology, the DFE occupies 0.031 mm2 consumes 39mW from 0.9V supply. This result outperforms previously reported
