This letter presents a 1-m wireless link established with a set of fundamentally operated Tx/Rx direct-conversion in-phase and quadrature (IQ) radio frequency (RF) front-end modules in a 0.13-μm SiGe HBT technology featuring full chipon-board packaging. Using a 16-quadrature amplitude modulation, da...
