Abstract

High-speed and energy-efficient wireless communication using the 60GHz band is attracting attention, and recent works have realized a highly integrated CMOS transceiver (TRX) [1-2]. This paper presents a fully integrated chipset for short-range/one-to-one wireless communication. The chipset is composed of 2 chips, an RF chip with in-package antenna and a BB chip including PHY/MAC layer. The chipset achieves 2.62Gb/s PHY data rate and 2.07Gb/s MAC throughput. The MAC is designed to have a high efficiency feature due to short interval DATA/Acknowledgement (ACK) frame exchange. It is realized by fast transmitter (TX)/receiver (RX) switching. Achieved energy consumption of 651pJ/bit is the lowest value in the compared TRXs that include a MAC layer.
