Co-design of fully integrated 60GHz CMOS digital radio in QFN package

Abstract

The past few years has witnessed the emergence of CMOS based circuits operating at millimeter wave-frequencies. Co-design of fully integrated 60 Ghz CMOS single chip digital radio with low cost QFN package is the promise for high volume low cost fabrication, opening huge commercial markets. As standardization efforts catalyzed the interest and investment of industry and agencies, one can be assured of ubiquitous millimeter-wave technology in the consumer electronic market place in the fairly near future.
