This session explores key mm-wave building blocks and components. The first paper presents a 28–40GHz phase shifter in 65nm CMOS, achieving less than 0.4° RMS phase error, <0.31dB RMS gain error, and a 31.5dB gain tuning range. The second paper introduces a V-band FMCW transmitter featuring an impedance-invariant voltage gain amplifier phase shifter, also in 65nm CMOS. The third paper showcases a 25–32GHz frequency doubler with up to 32% efficiency and >39dBc harmonic rejection, while the fourth paper reports a compact 24–31GHz complex impedance sensor — both implemented in 22nm FD-SOI. The session concludes with a C–X-band Wilkinson power divider/combiner utilizing a folded two-section mechanism in 65nm bulk CMOS.
