“…This architecture incorporated with the 0° feed technique provides not only good flexibility in the integrated circuit layout, but also good skirt selectivity in the frequency response. By combining 0° and non-0° feed structure into a one passive circuit, the basic operation principle of the proposed balun-BPF is completed [4]. The simulated magnitude of S 21 at 60 GHz is about -6.7 dB (including a 3-dB splitting loss) and hence the filter insertion loss is about 3.7 dB.…”

A 60-GHz CMOS sub-harmonic RF transceiver with an integrated on-chip artificial-magnetic-conductor (AMC) Yagi-antenna and a balun-bandpass-filter (BPF) fabricated in 90-nm technology is presented. With the AMC structure, the radiation efficiency and power gain of the on-chip antenna can be increased. The on-chip balun-BPF combines the integrated design of the balun and RF BPF to reduce the circuit size and the insertion loss. The transmitter/receiver (T/R) switch with the leakage cancellation technique is used to increase the isolation between the T/R ports. The class-A power amplifier is utilized to achieve high linearity and power gain. The sub-harmonic receiver is adopted to mitigate the DC offset problem. The probe-station based on-wafer continuous wave (CW) wireless transmission test is conducted (R = 1 m). The measured total transmitting gain G ant+Tx and receiving conversion gain CG ant+Rx of the integrated RF transceiver (with the on-chip AMC antenna and the balun-BPF) are 5 dB and 10.1 dB at 60 GHz, respectively. In error vector magnitude (EVM) tests, the maximum data rates of the transceiver in 16QAM mode at a 50-cm wireless link have been investigated. The presented integrated RF transceiver will be very useful for the design of a 60 GHz fully integrated CMOS single-chip radio for very-short-range (VSR) communication applications.Index Terms -60-GHz, artificial-magnetic-conductor (AMC), balun-bandpass-filter (balun-BPF), CMOS single-chip radio, error vector magnitude (EVM), low-noise amplifier (LNA), power amplifier (PA), subharmonic mixer (SHM), T/R switch, very-short-range (VSR), Yagi-antenna.

“…With regard to low-cost mass production, high integration capability, and lower power consumption, CMOS has proven to be a promising fabrication technique. However, this technology causes serious issues in the realization of high-quality passive components due to losses, especially at high frequencies [ 11 , 12 , 13 ]. Stimulated Brillouin scattering-based microwave photonics filtering has attracted significant interest over classical microwave techniques for its low propagation loss, ultra-broad transmission bandwidth, light-weight, and small-footprint.…”

This paper reports on the use of gallium arsenide-based integrated passive device technology for the implementation of a miniaturized bandpass filter that incorporates an intertwined circle-shaped spiral inductor and an integrated center-located capacitor. Air-bridge structures were introduced to the outer inductor and inner capacitor for the purpose of space-saving, thereby yielding a filter with an overall chip area of 1178 μm × 970 μm. Thus, not only is the chip area minimized, but the magnitude of return loss is also improved as a result of selective variation of bridge capacitance. The proposed device possesses a single passband with a central frequency of 1.71 GHz (return loss: 32.1 dB), and a wide fractional bandwidth (FBW) of 66.63% (insertion loss: 0.50 dB). One transmission zero with an amplitude of 43.42 dB was obtained on the right side of the passband at 4.48 GHz. Owing to its miniaturized chip size, wide FBW, good out-band suppression, and ability to yield high-quality signals, the fabricated bandpass filter can be implemented in various L-band applications such as mobile services, satellite navigation, telecommunications, and aircraft surveillance.

A millimeter‐wave lowpass and highpass filters are proposed by using a coupled‐line and a transmission line. Because these proposed filters have transmission zeros, the conditions of them are found by using even and odd modes analysis. Then, complementary metal oxide semiconductor technology is applied to the proposed filters. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 55:2808–2813, 2013
