NCIC team develops 100 GHz Wireless Transceiver

NCIC lab members Hossein Mohammadnezhad and Huan Wang developed transmitter and receiver for very high speed wireless communication. A 115-135 GHz 8-PSK receiver using multi-phase RF-correlation-cased direct-demodulation method was developed on 55nm SiGe process. The 16-QAM direct-modulation transmitter for high-speed point-to-point mm-wave wireless links was developed in 180nm SiGe process. Design and analysis of both designs are published in IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits.
