rangement also equalizes the loads seen by the two cores of the
quadrature oscillator, avoiding systematic I/Q mismatches.
Experimental Results The transceiver has been fabricated in
digital 40-nm LP CMOS technology, occupying an active area
of 1.75 mm x 0.84 mm. Figure 3 shows the die photograph.
Figure 4 plots the measured RX NF for a baseband frequency
range of 100 MHz to 800 MHz, where most of the WiGig signal
energy lies. Also shown in this figure is the measured TX saturated output power and the measured TX output constellation
for the WiGig MCS9 data format (QPSK at a raw rate of 2.86
Gb/s). The EVM is 15 dB, meeting the WiGig specification.
The TX output 1 is about 8 8 dBm.
The synthesizer locks to all four channels and exhibits a phase
noise of 90 dBc/Hz at 1-MHz offset. The loop bandwidth is
about 4 MHz and the measured rms jitter 5.3 ps, well below the
tolerable value for the 2.86-Gb/s QPSK signal.
Table I compares the measured performance of this work with
that of other single-element transceivers that achieve an output
power in the range of 10-12 dBm and are designed in 65- and
40-nm CMOS technologies.
