Abstract

A 60GHz direct conversion transceiver which employs amplitude/phase imbalance cancellation technique is newly proposed. By using the proposed technique, the receive path of the transceiver achieves less than 0.2dB of amplitude error and less than 3^° of phase error at 60GHz bands over a 10GHz bandwidth, which relaxes the design accuracy required for baluns used in the transceiver. It also employs a simple and fast calibration algorithm to adjust the locking range of the divide-by-3 injection locked divider in the phase locked loop. Fabricated in 90nm CMOS technology, the transceiver achieves a low power consumption of 230mW in transmit mode and 173mW in receive mode. The output spectrum of 1.76Gsps π/2-BPSK/QPSK modulation shows the excellent distortion and spurious suppression that meet the IEEE802.11ad draft standard.
