Abstract
This paper introduces a CMOS 28-GHz phased-array beamformer chip supporting dual-polarized MIMO (DP-MIMO) operation. A cross-pol. leakage cancellation technique is implemented for improving the degraded cross-pol. isolation caused by the antennas and the propagation. More than 40-dB cross-pol. isolation is maintained along the TX array to the RX array. This work also adopts a compact neutralized bidirectional architecture to minimize the chip manufacturing cost. The bi-directional PA-LNA realizes a peak PAE of 33.1% in PA mode and an NF of 5.4dB in LNA mode. With the improved cross-pol. isolation, 2×2 DP-MIMO communication with two 5G NR OFDMA-mode streams in 256QAM is achieved in the OTA measurement. The corresponding TX-to-RX EVM is 3.3%. The power consumptions for each antenna path are 181mW in TX mode and 88mW in RX mode.
