A Wideband Distributed Demodulator at 100 GHz

Abstract

This paper presents a high speed on-off Keying (OOK) demodulator using distributed approach which is implemented using 28 nm bulk CMOS process. A 100 GHz demodulator post layout full-wave EM simulation results are realized for the data-rate up to 30 Gbps to check the eye diagram at different power levels. The proposed demodulator achieved 50% of eye opening at 30 Gbps for -16 dBm input power. The design consumes 18.5 mW of power and occupies the chip area of 0.135 mm2-,
