Integrated 60 GHz Circuits and Systems for High-Speed Communications

Integrated 60 GHz transmitter and receiver GaAs front-end MMICs as well as a packaged transceiver module used for wireless communication link are presented. The data transmission capacity of the chips is examined using binary ASK modulation. A broadband 60 GHz direct carrier quadrature modulator is proposed to be integrated with the transmitter for realizing complex modulation schemes to increase the data rate.
