Abstract
This paper proposes a simple low-temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) integrated transmitter using sub-harmonic amplitude shift-keying modulation for 60-GHz wireless communications applications. The transmitter system-on-package (SoP) has been monolithically implemented with a six-layer LTCC block embedding a resonator, modulator, and antenna and two active circuits, including a negative resistance generator and frequency doubler on the block. The transmitter SoP integrating whole millimeter-wave circuitry is as small as 26 times 18 times 0.6 mm3, which needs external interfaces only for supplying dc power and digital input signal. The fabricated transmitter SoP reveals a bit error rate of 10-11 and good eye pattern through a 2.5-m transmission of 800-Mb/s data.
