Abstract: A large gain is used to start up the oscillation of the crystal quickly. A control circuit disables a low resistance path based on the measured amplitude to reduce the power dissipation specification of the crystal. Another technique introduces a mixed-signal controlled power supply multi-path resistive array which tailors the maximum current to the crystal. A successive approximation register converts the amplitude into several partitions and enables/disables one of several power routing paths to the inverter of the oscillator. This allows a better match between the crystal selected by the customer and the on-chip drive circuitry to power up the oscillator without stressing the crystal. The "1/f" noise of the oscillator circuit is minimized by operating transistors in the triode region instead of the linear region.

Abstract: The differential output of a Programmable Gain Amplifier (PGA) is loaded by the input differential gate capacitance of a plurality of Analog to Digital convertors (ADC) comparators and the differential metal layer traces to interconnect these comparators to the PGA. The differential capacitive load presented to the PGA is quite large and reduces the bandwidth of this interconnect between the PGA and ADC. To overcome the performance degradation due to the differential capacitive load, an active negative-capacitor circuit cancels the effect of the large input capacitance of the ADC comparators. This cancelation extends the gain characteristics of the interconnect between the PGA's output and the inputs of the first stage of the comparators. The active negative-capacitance is comprised of a cross pair NMOS with a capacitor connecting their sources where each NMOS is biased by a current source.

Abstract: The LTCC (Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramic) substrate is used to form an antenna structure operating at 60 GHz. The dielectric constant is high and ranges from 5 to 8. The substrate thickness is fabricated with a thickness between 360μm to 700μm. The large dielectric constant and large thickness of the substrate creates a guiding wave in the LTCC that forms an endfire antenna. A high gain signal of 10 dB in a preferred direction occurs by placing the microstrip fed dipole structure in the center of the LTCC substrate creating a dielectric cavity resonator. The creation of a slot in the LTCC substrate between the two microstrip fed dipole structures eliminates beam tilting and allows for the two microstrip fed dipole structures to reduce the coupling to each other thereby providing substantially two isolated endfire antennas. These antennas can be used as multiple receive or transmit antennas.

Abstract: Injection locked dividers provide a divided clock signal after being driven by a injected clock signal that is a multiple of the divided clock signal. At injected clock signal at 60 GHz generates a differential 30 GHz clock signal. One innovative construction of the injection locked oscillator reduces the internal capacitive at a node by associating the parasitic capacitance at this node with the inductors of the tapped inductor resonant circuit. This provides more energy flow in the injection pulses applied to the legs of the injection locked circuit providing an increase locking range.

Abstract: Local oscillator (LO) leakage and Image are common and undesirable effects in typical transmitters. Typically, fairly complex hardware and algorithms are used to calibrate and reduce these impairments. A single transistor that draws essentially no dc current and occupies a very small area detects the LO leakage and Image signals. The single transistor operating as a square-law device is used to mix the signals at the input and output ports of a power amplifier. The mixed signal generated by the single transistor enables the simultaneous calibration of the LO leakage and Image Rejection.

Abstract: A receiver comprises a Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) configured to amplify an input signal and a resonant circuit coupled to the LNA. A first switch couples current from the resonant circuit to a first capacitor integrating a first voltage, wherein the first switch is enabled with a clock signal. A second switch couples current from the resonant circuit to a second capacitor integrating a second voltage, wherein the second switch is enabled with an inverse clock signal. A differential amplifier comprises a positive input for receiving the first voltage and a negative input for receiving the second voltage in order to produce a sum and a difference frequency spectrum between a signal spectrum carried within the current and a frequency of the clock signal.
