Abstract

60 GHz LNA/PAs, phase shifters (PS), combiners and switches were designed for integrated phase array in CMOS. These components achieved the best known power consumption and size compared to previous publications reported, as a result of the methodology flow and layout optimization that was developed for 60 GHz designs. The extensive use of passive architecture together with the compact layout will enable full integrated phase arrays with tens of elements with 20 mm² size and less that 1 Watt of TX power.
