(1) A designed method of a millimeter-wave CMOS radiation oscillator has been developed for broadband short-range communication. An above-chip patch antenna was proposed for the radiation oscillator. The proposed antenna has a balanced port, which makes it suitable for the direct connection of CMOS cross-coupling transistors. The properties of the antenna were analyzed by an electromagnetic field solver, and, in particular, the input resistance was discussed in detail, so that the condition of millimeter-wave oscillator is satisfied even by CMOS FETs having gains lower than GaAs FETs. Furthermore, on/off-keying modulation can be carried out using switch transistors, and two switching techniques are used to realize a large data rate. A performance of 500Mb/s and a total efficiency of 0.12, which includes both the antenna and the circuit efficiencies, were confirmed by circuit simulation.(2) A500-Mb/s12-mW pulsed UWB transceiver has been developed in 1.8-μm CMOS technology for sub-meter short-range wireless communication. The transceiver employs two functional blocks for reducing power dissipation: one is an on-chip transformer-based DC-RF pulse power converter and another is an asynchronous RF baseband direct demodulator. The prototype chip with printed dipole antenna can operate at a bit-error rate of 0.001 or less on 40-cm distance, while dissipating less than 24μW/Mb/s.

（1）已经开发了一种用于宽带短距离通信的毫米波CMOS辐射振荡器的设计方法。为辐射振荡器提出了片上贴片天线。提出的天线具有平衡的端口，这使其适合CMOS交叉偶联晶体管的直接连接。通过电磁场求解器分析了天线的性能，尤其是详细讨论了输入电阻，因此即使通过比GAAS的收益低于GAAS FET的CMOS FET，也可以满足毫米波振荡器的状态。此外，可以使用开关晶体管进行开/关键调制，并使用两种开关技术来实现较大的数据速率。通过电路模拟证实了500MB/s和总效率为0.12（包括天线和电路效率）。（2）A500-MB/S12-MW脉冲UWB收发器已在1.8-μmCMOS技术中开发，用于子计的无线无线短距离通信。收发器采用两个功能块来减少功率耗散：一个是基于芯片变压器的DC-RF脉冲功率转换器，另一个是异步的RF RF基带直接解调器。带有印刷偶极天线的原型芯片可以在40厘米距离的位置率为0.001或更低，而耗散小于24μW/mb/s。
