A 60 GHz CMOS pulse generator (PG) is presented for the wireless transmission of uncompressed HDTV data, and is realised by only CMOS transistors. The CMOS PG was fabricated using a 90 nm CMOS process with nine metal layers. A carrier frequency of 62.5 GHz was obtained at a supply voltage of 1.15 V with an output power of −25 dBm. The power consumption was 11.5 mW at 1.5 GHz input frequency.
