13.3 A 56Gb/s W-band CMOS wireless transceiver

This paper presents a 56Gb/s 16-QAM 65nm CMOS transceiver using a W-band carrier. Two wideband IF signals are up- and downconverted simultaneously with 68GHz and 102GHz carriers. The transceiver achieves 56Gb/s data-rate with TX-to-RX EVM of -16.5dB within 0.1m distance. The transceiver consumes 260mW and 300mW from a 1V supply in TX and RX modes, respectively. This results in 10pJ/bit efficiency, which is a state-of-the-art-efficient high-data-rate mm-Wave CMOS transceiver.
