Abstract
Conference Title: 2014 IEEE/MTT-S International Microwave Symposium - MTT 2014 Conference Start Date: 2014, June 1 Conference End Date: 2014, June 6 Conference Location: Tampa, FL, USA This paper presents our developed two-chip wireless communication system adhering to the IEEE 802.11ad standards with a baseband IC (BBIC) integrated with a low power 60 GHz transceiver SOC (RFIC) and antennas. The novel low power 60GHz RFIC using a sub-harmonic sliding-IF scheme is fully integrated based on low cost SiGe 0.18 um BiCMOS process. The BBIC uses an adaptive time domain equalizer rather than the commonly used frequency domain equalizer to lower the requirements on power consumption. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
