Abstract :
A 60 GHz-band MMIC chipset has been developed for 500 Mbps ASK (Amplitude Shift Keying) transceivers which are used as IEEE 1394 wireless adapters. Coplanar configuration is used in the MMIC to be applied flip-chip technology. A modulator utilizing a distributed FET switch, a two-stage medium power amplifier with 15 dBm output power, a three-stage low noise amplifier with 20 dB gain and a detector are fabricated. The minimum detection power for the detector is measured to be -32 dBm at 500 Mbps.
