Popis: A 16-element phased-array transceiver covering the entire 57-71 GHz band of the IEEE 802.11ad standard is presented. The radio is implemented in a 130-nm SiGe BiCMOS technology. The packaged die is measured and results are given for the transmitter, receiver and PLL performances. The transmitter has a peak single-element OP 1dB of 13.8 dBm, including SPDT and packaging losses. The receiver has a system noise figure between 6.3 and 7.6 dB. With all 16-elements active the transceiver consumes 9.8 W in TX mode (at P 1dB ) and 1.9 W in RX mode. Preliminary link tests showing 1.8 Gbps at over 700 m are reported.
