This paper presents the design of a 60[Formula: see text]GHz-band LNA intended for the 63.72–65.88[Formula: see text]GHz frequency range (channel-4 of the 60[Formula: see text]GHz band). The LNA is designed in a 65-nm CMOS technology and the design methodology is based on a constant-current-density biasing scheme. Prior to designing the LNA, a detailed investigation into the transistor and passives performances at millimeter-wave (MMW) frequencies is carried out. It is shown that biasing the transistors for an optimum noise figure performance does not degrade their power gain significantly. Furthermore, three potential inductive transmission line candidates, based on coplanar waveguide (CPW) and microstrip line (MSL) structures, have been considered to realize the MMW interconnects. Electromagnetic (EM) simulations have been performed to design and compare the performances of these inductive lines. It is shown that the inductive quality factor of a CPW-based inductive transmission line ([Formula: see text] is more than 3.4 times higher than its MSL counterpart @ 65[Formula: see text]GHz. A CPW structure, with an optimized ground-equalizing metal strip density to achieve the highest inductive quality factor, is therefore a preferred choice for the design of MMW interconnects, compared to an MSL. The LNA achieves a measured forward gain of [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]dB with good input and output impedance matching of better than [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]dB in the desired frequency range. Covering a chip area of 1256[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m[Formula: see text]m including the pads, the LNA dissipates a power of only 16.2[Formula: see text]mW.

Penelitian studi tentang Metamaterials (MTMs) dalam beberapa tahun terakhir telah meningkat sangat pesat. Metamaterials yang di sebut juga artificial material atau  Left Handed (LH) material adalah material yang tidak ada dialam dimana strukturnya direkayasa oleh manusia yang memiliki dua atau lebih properties yang khusus, misalkan pada Double Negative (DNG) material yang memiliki μ negative dan  ε negative. Beberapa pendekatan dalam mendesign metamaterial yaitu pendekatan resonant dan pendekatan Transmission line. Model transmision line yang pertama adalah Right Handed Transmission lines (RH TL) yang dimodelkan dalam sebuah unit sel sebagai rangkaian dan shunt kapasitor shunt(CR), yang kedua adalah Left Handed Transmission Line (LH TL) dimodelkan dalam sebuah unit sel sebagai rangkaian kapasitor seri(CL) dan induktansi shunt(LL). gabungan dari dua buah model transmission line ini disebut Composite Right-left Handed Transmission Line(CRLH TL)  dan ini menjadi dasar dalam mendesign metamaterial. CRLH transmission line dimodelkan dalam sebuah unit sel sebagai rangkaian kapasitor seri(CL), induktansi seri(LR) dan induktansi shunt (LL) serta induktansi shunt(LL). CRLH TL memiliki negatif, nol dankonstanta propagasi positif sesuai dengan karakteristik dari permitivitas efektif dan permeabilitas[1]. Hasil pengukuran bandpass filter menggunakan saluran transmisi CRLH satu sel menunjukkan frekuensi cutoff pada -10dB terletak pada frekuensi 3.016 GHz pada highpass filter dan 5.359GHz pada lowpass filternya. Sedangkan frekuensi 3.4 GHz terletak pada -4.8415 dB sedangkan frekuensi 4.8 Ghz terletak pada -4.753 dB. Hasil dari perancangan menunjukkan bahwa saluran transmisi CRLH satu sel dapat memenuhi spesifikasi yang diminta.

This paper presents a low loss fully embedded bandpass filter (BPF) using low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) for multilayer System-in-Package (SiP) and Multi-Chip-Module (MCM) applications, e.g. wireless applications for the unlicensed 60 GHz band. The measured insertion loss was 1.5 dB at the center frequency 58 GHz, and a return loss of less than −10 dB was achieved, including two grounded coplanar waveguide transmission line (CPWg) to stripline transitions. The four layers BPF has a 3 dB bandwidth of about 11 GHz which supplies e.g. broadband and high data rate applications. The whole BPF requires a substrate area of 5.6 × 2.1 × 0.42 mm3 with transitions and a shielding via fence. This BPF suits well for V-band applications in a LTCC package because of the compact dimensions and the good performance.
