A 38-GHz Millimeter Wave Transmission System for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle in 65 nm CMOS

This paper presents the 38-GHz transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx) chips applied in Unmaned Aerial Vehicle. Unlike the works in [1], [3]-[5] using Phased-Array approaches, the presented Tx and Rx uses single channel approaches to save the power. The Tx can provide 15 dBm saturated power with 16 dB ga...

Summary:This paper presents the 38-GHz transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx) chips applied in Unmaned Aerial Vehicle. Unlike the works in [1], [3]-[5] using Phased-Array approaches, the presented Tx and Rx uses single channel approaches to save the power. The Tx can provide 15 dBm saturated power with 16 dB gain under 0.425W and the Rx can provide 5 dB Noise Figure with 25 dB conversion gain under 0.53 W. Both Tx chip can achieve EVM of 2.6% rms under 4096-QAM using AI modeling.
