Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) This paper presents a miniaturized Bluetooth Low-Energy transceiver (TRX) for short-range IoT applications in 65-nm CMOS. A T/R switch embedded with transmitter harmonic-suppression and on-chip impedance matching is proposed. A hybrid-loop TRX structure based on wide-BW fractional-N digital phase-locked loop (DPLL) is implemented to achieve the maximize power reduction. The BLE transceiver delivers $-$6dBm output while consuming 2.6mW. 18.5% TX efficiency is achieved at 0dBm output power. A -94dBm receiver sensitivity is achieved with 2.3mW receiver power consumption while the bypass route integration improves the dynamic-range of the receiver. Thanks to the T/R switch embedded with harmonic suppression, $-$56dBc of 2nd-order harmonic distortion (HD2) and $-$48dBc of 3rd-order harmonic distortion (HD3) suppression are achieved. The fabricated BLE transceiver occupies 0.85mmtextsuperscript{2} on-chip area. This transceiver satisfies the BLE radio specification without the need for external filters, that enables minimum size modules and short time to market.
