Abstract

A mixed-mode QPSK demodulator for 60-GHz wireless personal area network application is demonstrated. In this work, mixed-mode QPKS demodulation scheme achieving low power consumption and small area is employed. The prototype chip realized by 60-nm CMOS Logic process can demodulate up to 4.8-Gb/s QPSK signals at 4.8-GHz carrier frequency. At this carrier frequency, the demodulator core consumes 54 mW from 1.2-V power supply while the chip area is $150{\times}150{\mu}m^2$. Using the fabricated chip, transmission and demodulation of 1.7-GSymbol/s QPSK signal in 60-GHz link is demonstrated.

60GHz 대역 wireless personal area network(WPAN)을 위한 QPSK 복조기를 보인다. Mixed-mode QPSK 복조방식을 이용하여 전력소모와 면적을 줄였다. 설계된 회로는 60nm CMOS Logic 공정을 통해 제작되었으며, 4.8GHz 캐리어에서 최대 4.8Gb/s의 QPSK신호를 복조할 수 있다. 이 주파수에서, 복조기는 1.2V전원에서 54 mW를 소모하며, $150{\times}150{\mu}m^2$의 면적을 차지한다. 제작된 칩을 이용하여, 60GHz 링크에서 1.7GSymbol/s QPSK신호의 송선 및 복조 실험결과를 보인다.
