Total Ionizing Dose Effects on 28GHz CMOS Bi-Directional Transceiver for 5G Non-Terrestrial Networks

Abstract

This paper presents TID effects on 28GHz 5G bi-directional transceiver fabricated in 65nm CMOS. The transceiver employs a phased-array for beam steering. TID experiments show 2.5dB gain drop and 6degree phase variation at 1000krad doses.
