  • Abstract
    A highly complex mm-wave system-on-chip (SOC) for Ka-band active antenna arrays is presented, containing digital and mixed-signal circuits, RF-MEMS switches and four transceivers. In RX mode, 13.7dB of maximum gain with -21dBm IP1dB were obtained, in TX mode, 11dB of maximum gain with -2dBm OP1dB. A total of 65536 amplitude and phase states can be set. The IC has a total power consumption of 222mW in RX and 337mW in TX mode and occupies 4×3.85mm2.
