Fully integrated 80GHz-band and 100GHz-band transceiver ICs using 65nm CMOS technology and on-board antennas for high-speed/short-range wireless communication system are demonstrated. To realize higher speed and lower power consumption than those of a 60GHz-band standard application such as IEEE802.11ad, a simple transceiver architecture with non-coherent amplitude shift keying (ASK) modulation method using W-band (75-110GHz) is adopted. The aggregate 80/100GHz-band transceiver modules demonstrate 23Gbps over 10mm wirelessly with power consumption of 216mW. The developed transceiver modules achieve the highest speed of wireless communications above 60GHz-band and show a potential for future applications of 100Gbps high-speed shortrange communications.

Fully integrated millimeter-wave transceiver ICs using 65nm CMOS technology and on-board antenna for highspeed/short-range wireless communication system are described. To realize high-speed and low power consumption for a mobile application, a simple transceiver architecture with non-coherent amplitude shift keying (ASK) modulation method is adopted. The transceiver ICs are flip-chip bonded on boards and connected with on-board antenna for a simple and low cost transceiver system. The developed transceiver system module demonstrates 5Gbps/3.8Gbps at wireless communication range of 5mm/10mm and power consumption of 79.6mW with a carrier frequency of 71GHz. To our best knowledge, this is the first report of a millimeter-wave, above 60GHz, CMOS transceiver module with on-board antenna for a highspeed/short-range wireless communication system.
