COMPARATIVE DEMODULATION RESULTS FOR SIX-PORT AND CONVENTIONAL 60 GHZ DIRECT CONVERSION RECEIVERS

Abstract

Two 60 GHz homodyne receivers dedicated for high-speed short-range communication systems are presented. The receivers are based on six-port and conventional (anti-parallel diodes) mixers, respectively. Comparative bit error rate results, function of local oscillator power, phase, and frequency shift over the operating bandwidth, are presented and discussed.
