The AAC circuitry adds little noise to the VCO but provides it with robust performance over a wide temperature and carrier frequency range.The VCO is fabricated in a chartered 50GHz 0.35μm SiGe BiCMOS process. The measurements show that it has - 127. 27dBc/Hz phase noise at 1MHz offset and a linear gain of 32.4MHz/V between 990MHz and 1.14GHz.The whole circuit draws 6. 6mA current from 5V supply.展开更多

The properties of some passive and active devices such as inductors, capacitors, transmission lines, translbrmers and transistors in mm-wave frequency band are discussed. Self-healing technique dealing with PVT variation, res- onant mode switching technique to enhance frequency tuning range of voltage controlled oscillator （VCO） and dual mode technique for power amplifier （PA） efficiency enhancement are introduced. At last, A fully-integrated 60 GHz 5 Gb/s QPSK transceiver with the transmit/receive （T/R） switch in 65nm CMOS process is introduced. The measured error vector magnitude （EVM） of the TX is -21.9 dB while the bit error rate （BER） of the RX with a -52 dBm sine-wave input is below 8e-7 when transmitting/receiving 5 Gb/s data. The transceiver is powered by 1.0 V and 1.2 V supply （except the phase-frequency detector and charge-pump in the frequency synthesizer which are powered by 2.5 V supply） and con- sumes 135 mW in TX mode and 176 mW in RX mode.展开更多
