Abstract

In this work, a compact system-on-package module integrating a 60-GHz amplitude shift-keying (ASK) receiver has been presented for wireless gigabit point-to-point applications. The whole ASK receiver (Rx) has fully integrated into a 6-layer low-temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) single substrate embedding four GaAs circuits, a low-pass filter (LPF), and bias components. The fabricated Rx system-on-package (SoP) module is as small as 16.4 × 6.9 × 0.68 mm³ and shows that the flatness of below -2dBm is obtained up to 1.25 GHz in the IF output signal and the conversion gain is 38 dB.
