Abstract

A partly integrated phase-locked loop (PLL) accompanied by a 60 GHz IQ-transmitter and IQ-receiver is presented in this paper. The chip has been designed to support wireless data communication applications as well as radar applications for level sensing or moving-target-indication (MTI) in the ISM band. This contribution focuses on the implementation of the PLL, furthermore it shows a CW-radar-measurement scenario using an RF demonstrator.
