Low-Cost Transceiver Architectures for 60 GHz Ultra Wideband WLANs

الملخص EN

Millimeter-wave multiport transceiver architectures dedicated to 60 GHz UWB short-range communications are proposed in this paper.

Multi-port circuits based on 90° hybrid couplers are intensively used for phased antenna array, millimeter-wave modulation and down-conversion, as a low-cost alternative to the conventional architecture.

This allows complete integration of circuits including antennas, in planar technology, on the same substrate, improving the overall transceiver performances.
