This paper presents a 60-GHz transceiver for low-power high-speed short-range wireless using the proposed binary-phase on-off keying (BPOOK) modulation scheme. The proposed BPOOK wireless transceiver transmits radio frequency (RF) signal with amplitude modulated on and off by input baseband data, and meanwhile, the phase is changing between 0° and 180°. The BPOOK transceiver achieves doubled spectral efficiency compared with OOK modulation and binary-phase-shift keying (BPSK) modulation. It also cancels the intrinsic local-oscillator feed through (LOFT) issue in the OOK modulation. The BPOOK RF signal can be demodulated by employing low-power square-law envelope detector incoherently. The transceiver is fabricated in a standard 65-nm CMOS technology. A data rate of 3.0 Gb/s is achieved while consuming a power of 100 mW from 1-V supply. The incoherent receiver has a sensitivity of −46 dBm. The core area of the transceiver is 1.56 mm2.
