High datarate applications are possible by exploiting the large bandwidth offered at mm-wave frequencies. Realization of antenna modules is however not trivial at these high frequencies due to the increased material losses and higher sensitivity to manufacturing tolerances. In this paper, we study the suitability of three packaging technologies (organic, LTCC and thin-film) for the integration of 60 GHz active phased array modules. Both the antenna and interconnect performance is investigated.

“…Consequently, for a fair comparison, the total estimated power consumption for a 60 GHz receiver integrating the proposed subsampler would reach 252 mW. Table I compares the proposed solution to complete receivers with different approaches for channel filtering : GmC in analog baseband [2], external Frequency Domain Equalizer (FDE) [3] and spatial filtering [4]. All these solutions require additional components.…”

This paper presents the architecture, the implementation details and the measurement results of an IF to DC subsampler for 60 GHz applications. The proposed subsampler performs downconversion, IQ demodulation and out-of-band filtering within a unique operation. An 802.11ad (WiGig) channel at a fixed 21.12 GHz IF frequency is subsampled using a 7.04 GHz clock. The 1.76 GS/s analog to digital conversion is directly performed in baseband after FIR filtering and decimation. The charge domain subsampler and FIR filter provide additional immunity to perturbations at no extra hardware cost. Digitally controlled delay lines set the phase of the sampling clock to reach the best sampling instant. In conclusion, subsampling-based back-ends can be promising candidates for low power, low cost and digitally synchonized receiver architectures

“…One of the best candidate mm-wave frequency range to achieve several Gbps data-rate is 60 GHz carrier, where an unlicensed 9 GHz bandwidth can be used. This 9 GHz unlicensed band enables tens of Gbps communication with a proper modulation scheme [1], [2]. For a complete TRX to be implemented with desired performances, accurate active and passive device characterization and modeling is needed, because the models provided by foundries, unfortunately, are not accurate at mm-wave frequency.…”

For millimeter-wave CMOS circuit design, accurate device models are necessary. Especially an accurate de-embedding method is very important. Hence, precise deembedding of pad parasitics is the first and valuable step to achieve accurate device models. In this work, a new pad modeling based on an L-2L de-embedding is proposed. The pad model is derived with an assumption that characteristic impedance of transmission line becomes constant at high frequency. Every device used in an amplifier is characterized with the proposed de-embedding method, and simulation and measurement results well agree with each other up to 110 GHz.
