It covers the topics of a system plan, designs of building blocks, designs of application boards and real environment tests. Different LNA and mixer topologies have been investigated and fabricated. Good agreements between measurements and simulations have been achieved by using the self-developed component models. A transceiver front end system is built based on these blocks. A heterodyne architecture with a 5 GHz IF is adopted because it is compatible with the standard IEEE 802.11a, which allows the reuse of some existing building blocks of the 5 GHz transceiver. The transceiver chips are assembled onto application boards and connected by bond-wires. Bond-wire inductances have been minimized by using a cavity and compensated by an on board structure. The front end has been tested by both QPSK and OFDM signals in an indoor environment. Clear constellations have been measured. This was the first silicon based 60 GHz demonstrator in Europe and the second in the world.}, subject = {MMIC; Hochfrequenzschaltung; Transceiver; 60-GHz-Transceiver; MMIC; Integrierte Hochfrequenzschaltungen; Einchip-L{\"o}sung; Drahtlose Kommunikation; 60 GHz transceiver; MMIC; RFIC; Single chip solution; Wireless communication}, language = {en} }
