A 60GHz 16QAM/8PSK/QPSK/BPSK direct-conversion transceiver for IEEE 802.15.3c

Abstract

This paper presents a 60GHz direct-conversion transceiver using 60GHz quadrature oscillators. The 65nm CMOS transceiver realizes the IEEE802.15.3c full-rate wireless communication for every 16QAM/8PSK/QPSK/BPSK mode. The maximum data rates with an antenna built in the package are 8Gb/s in QPSK mode and 11 Gb/s in 16QAM mode within a BER of <;1CH, and the transmitter and the receiver consume 186mW and 106mW, respectively.
