| Abstract: |
| The W-band (75-110 GHz) has great potential for applications ranging from communications, sensing and imaging to short-range high-speed data communication due to its large available bandwidth, low atmospheric losses, short wavelength and ability to operate under dusty and foggy conditions. Therefore, more and more attention has been paid to the research and application of W-band transceivers. In this paper, the transceiver switch, phase shifter and attenuator based on coupling line are proposed to study the important modules and key technologies in the W-band CMOS millimeter-wave phased array transceiver. Among them, the transceiver switch can reduce the insertion loss effectively while multiplexing the output matching network of the power amplifier and the input matching network of the low noise amplifier, and the phase shifter and attenuator achieve very high resolution. The realization principle and circuit design of the above three key modules are described in detail in this paper. The simulation results and measurement results show that the fabrication of W-band phased array chip by CMOS process is feasible. |
