  • Abstract
    This paper presents a 2×2 amplifier-multiplier array with on-chip antennas at 163-180 GHz in 45 nm CMOS SOI technology. The measured EIRP is > 2 dBm at 165-175 GHz with a peak value of 5 dBm at 170 GHz meeting the stringiest metal-density rules for antennas. The amplifiermultiplier architecture is scalable to N×M arrays for high EIRP and transmit power.
