A 60GHz BiCMOS self-demodulator with injection locked oscillator

This paper proposes a wide-band self-demodulating receiver for 60GHz ISM band applications. The proposed receiver architecture self-demodulates the OOK input signal by using injection locked oscillator and passive mixer. This simple architecture features extremely ultra-lower-power consumption and faster settling time. Implemented in Tower Jazz 180nm SiGe technology with 200GHz f_T, the proposed receiver is able to work at the 60GHz ISM-band frequency range with an OOK data rate up to 2Gbps. The current consumption of the whole receiver is less than 15mA from a single 1.8V supply.
