Abstract

A wideband 8.5 Gbps transmitter implemented using a 65 nm CMOS technology in V-band (50GHz-75 GHz) is presented. A BPSK modulation scheme is used, realized by a double balanced Gilbert cell, followed by an output buffer and a matching network. Output power of 5.5 dBm-7.2 dBm was achieved at carrier frequencies of 56GHz-68 GHz. Limited by measurement equipment, BER<;10^-12 was achieved for carrier frequencies at the entire V-band with data rates of up to 8.5 Gbps. The design consummes 65 mW and takes up a core area of 225*325 μm².
