This paper presents a 60-GHz direct-conversion transceiver in 65 nm CMOS technology. By the proposed gain peaking technique, this transceiver realizes good gain flatness and is capable of more than 7 Gbps in 16QAM wireless communication for all channels of IEEE802.11ad standard within EVM of around -23 dB. The transceiver consumes 319 mW in transmitting and 223 mW in receiving, including the PLL consumption. TABLE I Gain flatness to EVM correspondence. Gain Flatness 0dB 1dB 2dB EVM --18dB -22dB
