The highlights are a sub-harmonic transmitter with 12 ± 3 dB conversion gain, a power amplifier with 17 ± 2 dBm output power, a low noise amplifier with 5 ± 1.5 dB noise figure, and a sub-harmonic mixer with 15 ± 3 dB conversion loss from 40 to 48 GHz. Furthermore, two kinds of MMW high data-rate communication applications using the 40-48GHz sub-harmonic transceiver module were demonstrated. The experimental results show that the 40-48GHz transceiver has Gigabit transmission capability. ©2008 IEEE.[SDGs]SDG7Harmonic analysis; Low noise amplifiers; Millimeter waves; Mixer circuits; Noise figure; Power amplifiers; Transceivers; Conversion gain; Conversion loss; High data rate communications; Millimeter wave (MMW); Sub-harmonic mixer; System applications; Transceiver modules; Transmission capability; Data communication systemsconference paper10.1109/GSMM.2008.4534609
