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

Firstly, the problem is formulated as an integer programming(IP) problem. Then the problem is proved as a NP-hard problem by means of the simplification into the minimum dominant set(MDS), which is a NP-hard problem and is intractable to be solved in polynomial time. Secondly, a greedy-idea-based heuristic algorithm(GIHA) is proposed under the consideration of the complexity of the original optimization problem. Finally, superiorities of GIHA are demonstrated with the extensive simulations in 60 GHz mm-wave ultra-dense network in terms of access robustness and aggregate power consumption.展开更多

A novel unified model of various on chip CPWs for mm-wave application, together with corresponding direct parameter extraction methodologies, are proposed and investigated, where standard CPW, grounded CPW （GCPW） and CPW with slotted shield （SCPW） are included. Several kinds of influences of different structures are analyzed and considered into the model to explain the frequency-dependent per-unit-length L, C, R, and G parameters, among which the electromagnetic coupling for CPWs with large lower ground or shield is described by a new C-L-R series path in the parallel branch. The direct extraction procedures are established, which can ensure both accuracy and simplicity compared with other reported methods. Different CPWs are fabricated and measured on 90-nm CMOS processes with Short-Open-Load-Through （SOLT） de-embedding techniques. Excellent agreement between the model and the measured data for different CPWs is achieved up to 67 GHz.展开更多

To support the Gbps data rate, the link bandwidth of the receiver/transmitter must be wide enough, which puts a lot of pressure on the mm-wave front-end as well as on the baseband circuit. This paper discusses the effects of the limited link bandwidth on the transceiver system performance and overviews the band- width expansion techniques for mm-wave amplifiers and IF programmable gain amplifier. Furthermore, dual-mode power amplifier （PA） and self-healing technique are introduced to improve the PA＇s average efficiency and to deal with the process, voltage, and temperature variation issue, respectively. Several fully-integrated CMOS mm-wave transceivers are also presented to give a short overview on the state-of-the-art mm-wave transceivers.展开更多

In the proposed approach, the most complex functions, including the beamforming network, are implemented in a central office, reducing the complexity and cost of remote antenna units. Different cores in a multi-core fiber are used to distribute the modulated signals to high-speed photodetectors acting as heterodyne mixers. The mm-wave carrier frequency is fixed to 50 GHz（VBand）, thereby imposing a progressive delay between antenna elements of a few picoseconds. That true time delay is achieved with an accuracy lower than 1 ps and low phase noise.展开更多
