✦ Synopsis

An integrated CMOS 60 GHz phased-array antenna module supporting symmetrical 32 TX/RX elements for wireless docking is described. Bidirectional architecture with shared blocks, mm-wave TR switch design with less than 1dB TX loss, and a full built in self test (BIST) circuits with 5deg and +/-1dB measurement accuracy of phase and power are presented. The RFIC size is 29mm 2 , consuming 1.2W/0.85W at TX and RX with a 29dBm EIRP at-19dB EVM and 10dB NF.
