A miniature, energy harvesting, scalable data rate, and fully integrated mmWave radio for near range communication
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- In this thesis, an integrated 2×2 CMOS transceiver at 60GHz with energy harvesting capability in the transmitter mode is demonstrated. The two dipole antennas are implemented on-chip and are shared between the receiver and transmitter modes using a T/R switch. The radio supports On-Off-Keying (OOK) modulation and a programmable data rate of 38 to 2450Mb/s at a BER of less than 5×10−4. The power consumption of the transmitter scales with data rate. For a communication distance of 5cm, the transmitter consumes 100μW to 6.3mW for a data rate of 38 to 2450Mb/s, respectively. For a communication distance of 10cm, the transmitter consumes 260μW to 11.9mW for a data rate of 38 to 2450Mb/s, respectively. This yields an energy efficiency of 2.6pJ/b at 5cm and 4.9pJ/b at 10cm. The energy harvesting circuits operate at 2.45GHz with an average efficiency of 33%. The harvesting antenna and its matching components are off-chip. The complete transceiver including the energy harvesting block and on-chip antennas occupies 1.62mm2 in 40nm CMOS, which is the smallest 60GHz radio with on-chip antennas to date. This work is the first implementation of a 60GHz transmitter with scalable data rate and power that has the energy harvesting capability.
