Abstract

In this paper, we present a 60 GHz on-off keying (OOK) modulator in a 90 nm CMOS. The modulator employs a current-reuse technique and a switching modulation for low DC power dissipation, high on/off isolation, and high data rate. The measured gain of the modulator, on/off isolation, and output 1-dB compression point is 9.1 dB, 24.3 dB, and 5.1 dBm, respectively, at 60 GHz. The modulator consumes power consumption of 18 mW, and is capable of handling data rates of 8 Gb/s at bit error rate of less than $10^{-6}$ for $231^{-1}$ PRBS over a distance of 10-cm with an OOK receiver module.
