  • Abstract
    A direct conversion receiver for 60 GHz applications is fabricated in 65 nm CMOS. It consists of three low-noise amplifier gain stages, an RF mixer, a lowpass filter and a three-stage programmable gain amplifier. An overall minimum noise figure (NF) of 4.2 dB and maximum gain of 66 dB is achieved by the receiver occupying a core area of 0.26 mm2 while drawing 36 mA of current from a 1 V supply.
