A 140?GHz transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx) chip set has been developed in 65?nm CMOS by using on–off keying non-coherent modulation to support high speed proximity data communication. To the author’s best knowledge, it enables the first integrated multi-Gbps data link in D-band by saving power hungry frequency synthesizer, high speed data convertors and complicated digital signal processor. The Tx and Rx occupy 0.03 and 0.12?mm2 chip areas, respectively. To validate the communication at 140?GHz carrier frequency, a data link has been built to demonstrate up to 2.5 Gbps data rate with power consumption of 115/120 mW for Tx/Rx respectively.
