60 GHz Radio의 CMOS SoC 및 SoP 집적

  • 발행 : 2008.09.30

초록

Gbps급의 대용량 데이터를 무선으로 전송하기 위해 60 GHz대역의 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 60 GHz 대역은 공기 중에서 약 16 dB/km의 손실 특성을 가지므로 10미터 이내의 단거리 무선 대용량 데이터 전송용에 적합하다. 따라서 Kiosk 및 이동 단말기 간 대용량 무선 데이터 통신을 위한 저전력 CMOS chip 기술 및 실내용 고화질 비디오 전송을 위한 억세스 포인트와 HDTV에 장착되기 위한 단일 집적 모듈에 관한 연구가 크게 대두되고 있다. 본 원고에서는 저전력 소모 V-band 신호 발생기를 비롯한 CMOS SoC에 대한 세계적인 추세와 동향을 살펴보고, LTCC를 이용한 단일 집적 송수신 모듈에 대해 기술하고자 한다.
