Popis: A fully integrated 802.11ad/WiGig compliant 60 GHz transceiver is presented in a 130 nm SiGe BiCMOS technology. Encompassing an area of 2.3 mm $\, \times \,$ 2.16 mm $=$ 4.97 mm $^{2}$ , the transceiver covers the entire 60 GHz band, from 57 to 66 GHz. Within this span, the RX NF, TX OP1dB, and PLL RMS jitter is better than 5.5 dB, ${+} $ 13.5 dBm, and 7 $^{\circ}$ , respectively. The transceiver is packaged in 1) a system-in-package substrate with industry standard WR-15 transition providing an approximate 1 dB insertion loss, and 2) a cost-effective 7 $\, \times \,$ 7 mm $^{{{2}}}$ organic BGA package with integrated transmit and receive antennas providing 8 dBi gain. In system-level testing, the transceiver is fully compliant with all TX EVM and RX sensitivity requirements of the WiGig standard up to the top-rate 16-QAM operating mode and across all standard channel frequencies. Link testing over the air with the antenna-integrated package shows a range of 5.9 m at 4.6 Gbps and over 20 m at 2.5 Gbps. This system achieves the highest performance 802.11ad/WiGig compliant wireless links of any reported single-element transceiver.
