Abstract :
The viability of digital CMOS as a future mm-wave technology, capable of exploiting the 60GHz band, is explored. Optimal device design and appropriate mm-wave models are presented. From modeling of transistors in 0.13μm technology a three cascode-stage amplifier at 1.5 volts would provide 11 dB of gain at 60GHz using 54mW.
