RF transceiver and wireless calibration of on-chip frequency reference for a true single chip radio

An RF transceiver for operation near 24 GHz with an onchip antenna, fractional-N synthesizer and other RF and analog baseband circuits is demonstrated in 130-nm CMOS. A 5-m wireless link was demonstrated using a transceiver pair. A technique for wireless calibration of an on-chip frequency reference is also demonstrated.
