Session 16 overview / RF: Mm-Wave design techniques

Summary form only given. The increasing capabilities of advanced silicon technologies are enabling new market opportunities at 60GHz and above. For these markets to succeed, highly integrated, low-cost and low-power-consumption solutions are required. This session includes circuit demonstrations from 5 to 300GHz for highspeed communications, radar, and imaging applications, implemented in 130- to 45nm CMOS technology. The 60GHz band offers great opportunities for high-data-rate communications for consumer wireless high-definition video streaming and ultra-fast file transfer applications.
