Abstract :
A transmitter for 24 GHz ISM applications integrated in 0.13 mum CMOS is presented. The high integration level includes VCO, PA and division by four at a record minimal area of 0.3 mm2. Measurements of the mounted chip including bondwires show an output power of +6 dBm with a phase noise of -102 dBc/Hz@1 MHz offset at a power consumption of 64 mW from a single 1.5 V supply.
