A 100mW 3.0 Gb/s spectrum efficient 60 GHz Bi-Phase OOK CMOS transceiver

A novel high-data-rate low-power spectrum-efficient 60GHz Bi-Phase-On-Off-Keying (BPOOK) transceiver is presented for indoor short-range IoT application targeting the common 60GHz spectrum mask used in IEEE 802.11ad/ WiGig standards. By employing bi-phase encoder and double-balanced mixer, the BPOOK transmitter spectrum is efficient to be compliant with 2-channel bonding spectrum mask. The proposed 60GHz OOK transceiver is fabricated in 65nm CMOS, achieves 3.0 Gb/s data-rate and -46 dBm sensitivity, while consuming a power of 100mW including the on-chip 60GHz synthesizer.
