A 90nm CMOS 60GHz Radio

摘要: CMOS-based circuits operating at mm-wave frequencies have emerged in the past few years. This paper discusses integration of a 60GHz CMOS single-chip transmitter and single- chip receiver using standard 90nm technology demonstrating reliable solution for radio. Proper transistor layout, complete accurate modeling optimized parasitic extraction method enabled robust design wideband super-heterodyne architecture to support entire 57- to-66GHz band. The analog radio front-end is controlled by serial digital interface has been co-designed integrated together with high-speed signal processor including analog-to-digital conversion, high speed PHY processing such as frequency-offset compensation, phase tracking, FIR DFE, both advanced OFDM SCBT modulation scheme. resulting enables data throughputs exceeding 7Gb/s (QPSK) 15Gb/s (16QAM) total DC power budget below 200mW TDD operation. In combination low-cost FR4-based packaging technology, it provides high-performance cost-effective wide range volume consumer electronic applications.
