Abstract :
This paper presents millimeter-wave CMOS building blocks for a high date rate wireless transceiver. The results include measured data for a 40-50 GHz broad-band low noise amplifier, a 40 GHz tuned power amplifier, and an 18 GHz voltage controlled oscillator. Also, simulation results for a 22 GHz multi-modulus prescaler is presented for implementing phase locked loop. The circuits were fabricated 0.13 ¿m CMOS process. The measured results showed good agreement with simulation data demonstrating good modeling accuracy of CMOS active and passive devices for millimeter-wave applications.
