Abstract

This paper reports implementation details of a 60 GHz short range communication system for data rates up to 2 Gbit/s. Based on a MATLAB model the main PHY parameters were derived, and the modules of the analog frontend were specified. For system verification, a demonstrator was developed. The analog RF and IF circuits of the demonstrator are implemented in a 0.25 mum SiGe BiCMOS technology. Measurement results of the analog modules and the complete demonstrator are given. Using OFDM modulation, the maximum data rate transmitted via airlink so far, is 960 Mbit/s.
