Title
A power-harvesting pad-less mm-sized 24/60GHz passive radio with on-chip antennas
Abstract
A wireless-powered pad-less single-chip dual-band mm-wave passive radio is implemented in 65nm CMOS for applications in sensor networks and wireless tagging. This fully self-sufficient system has no pads or external components (e.g. power supply), and the entire radio is a single 3.7mm × 1.2mm chip. To provide multi-access, and to mitigate interference, it uses two separate mm-wave bands for RX/TX and integrates both antennas to provide a measured communication range of 50cm. Compared to mm-sized passive radio solutions in the same category this system provides an order of magnitude range enhancement while improving input sensitivity by >14dB. Wideband pulse transmission enables real-time localization with time-of-flight. The entire system operates with standby harvested power below 1.5μW and aggregate rate >12Mbps.
