A novel switching circuitry for fully differential millimetre‐wave applications is presented. The structure of the proposed switching architecture includes 90 nm CMOS transistors and a distributed‐active‐transformer. To minimise the chip size, an innovative topology based on lumped components is investigated, resulting a total size of <0.025 mm 2 . The performance of the designed switch is validated within a dual‐mode local oscillator‐distribution circuitry of a V‐band transceiver.
