Low-power millimeter-wave (mm-wave) transceivers are of interest for achieving energy-efficient high data rate short-reach wireless and guided-wave links.
Spatial modulation or space-shift keying (SSK) can provide energy efficiency improvements by using antenna-switching or transmission direction switching for data modulation. Such links are particularly attractive at millimeter-wave frequencies due to small...
Millimeter-wave (mm-wave) technology promises high speed, high system capacity and low latency interconnects with reduced cost. Applications like high data-rate wireless links, next generation automotive sensors and security body scanners highly depend on mm-wave technology innovations. As operating frequency moves to higher mm-wave bands, shrinking antenna dimensions enable co-integration of...
This work presents the design and implementation of a low power phased-array receiver frontend at 28 GHz in 65 nm CMOS. The frontend incorporates a low- power low-noise amplifier(LNA) and a passive reflection-type phase shifter (RTPS) capable of providing 360° phase shift with 5-bit phase resolution and low loss variation....
