This paper presents a 60 GHz beamforming (BF) solution based on a 8-channel BF chip with an on-board dipole array antenna. A single BF chip has a Tx OP1dB of 1 dBm and an Rx IP1dB of -23 dBm per RF channel, occupying a silicon area of 27 mm 2 . The antenna array is based on eight in-line 4×1-dipole elements and it has a measured peak gain of 17 dBi across the 55–66 GHz band. The measurement results of the integrated solution show ±45° azimuth steering with an EIRP of 23 dBm.
