Integrated 60GHz RF Beamforming in CMOS describes new concepts and
design techniques that can be used for 60GHz phased array systems.
First, general trends and challenges in low-cost high data-rate 60GHz
wireless system are studied, and the phased array technique is
introduced to improve the system performance. Second, the system
requirements of phase shifters are analyzed, and different phased array
architectures are compared. Third, the design and implementation of
60GHz passive and active phase shifters in a CMOS technology are
presented. Fourth, the integration of 60GHz phase shifters with other
key building blocks such as low noise amplifiers and power amplifiers
are described in detail. Finally, this book describes the integration of
a 60GHz CMOS amplifier and an antenna in a printed circuit-board (PCB)
package.
