Abstract :
A 60-GHz low power fully integrated transceiver including antennas, fabricated in CMOS 65nm SOI and packaged in low cost QFN is described. The circuit achieves 2 Gbps and 500 Mbps rates at 7.5 cm and 22.5 cm transmission ranges respectively. The transceiver energy efficiency is lower than 50 pJ/bit thanks to scalable power consumption using pulse generator and Super Regenerator Oscillator architecture.
