Design of 100 GHz OOK Transceiver in 28nm CMOS Process for High Speed Communication

Abstract

This paper presents a 100 GHz OOK based transceiver designed in 28nm CMOS process for future millimeter wave wireless communication networks. The transmitter includes a novel OOK modulator with 21.6 dB isolation. The power amplifier with 13 dB gain is designed to achieve EIRP of 5 dB. The distance between transmitter and receiver is 0.5 cm. The receiver includes the two-stage low noise amplifier and novel distributed demodulator with open drain output buffer. The chip area of transmitter and receiver with probing pads is 1.26 mm2 and 0.72 mm2 respectively.
