Abstract :
A silicon-based 60-GHz chipset is described that addresses both the consumer and infrastructure backhaul requirements. An antenna-integrated packaged solution includes a WiGig compliant transceiver and > 8dBi gain antennas. Low-loss wave-guide modules are also shown that integrate the same transceiver with a <; 1dB loss WR-15 wave-guide transition. A fully WiGig compliant baseband IC is described integrating a USB 3.0 interface and a full analog front-end interface to a radio transceiver. Finally, the next-generation transceiver IC is described that features enhanced output power, > +16 dBm, and newly optimized fast-locking AGC operation.
