Abstract :
A 60GHz SiGe HBT transmitter IC with integrated antenna in a standard-bulk 0.18mum SiGe BiCMOS process is reported. This chip is composed of a VCO, a sub-harmonic mixer, a PA, and a tapered-slot antenna, all with differential designs. The measured results show 15.8dBm output power and 20.2dB conversion gain with 281mWdc power consumption
