Recently, the RFcircuits have been into the Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) process. And using the CMOS topology has the advantages of low power consumption, low cost and high integration. In this paper, 38 GHz VGA and single-sideband mixer (SSB Mixer) are presented, and implemented in TSMC 65nm CMOS technology. First, a 38 GHz low phase variation VGA has designed and implemented. The circuit adopted two current steering stages. To maintain low phase variations over the variable gain range and reduce system control complexity, we utilized digital control and phase compensation techniques. When the supply voltage is 2 V, Vg1 and Vg2 is 0.6 V and 1.6 V, the VGA has a peak gain of 17.67 dB at 38 GHz. The variable gain range is from 2.61 dB to 17.67 dB with a range of 15.06 dB, and the phase error is 2.69 °. The output power of -0.68dBm at 1-dB gain compression point. The DC power consumption is 56.77 mW, and the chip size is 460 μm × 680 μm. Second, a 38 GHz SSB Mixer has designed and implemented. By giving two mixer quadrature signals, the two output signals with 180° difference are combined to achieve the image suppression function. However, the poly phase filter which we use to be quadrature phase generator is sensitive to the process variation. Therefore, the SSB Mixer frequency shifted. When the bias is 0.4 V and LO drive power is 3 dBm, the gain range is -16.3 ± 0.5 dB from 31 to 40 GHz and the IRR is 35 dB. The chip size is 710 μm × 770 μm.互補式金氧半導體製程可變增益放大器電流控制架構單邊帶調變混頻器鏡像抑制CMOSVariable Gain AmplifierCurrent SteeringSingle-Sideband MixerImage Rejection Ratio38 GHz可變增益放大器與單邊帶調變混頻器設計Design of 38 GHz Variable Gain Amplifier and Single-Sideband Mixer
