A 245 GHz transmitter for sensing applications has been realized, which consists of a push-push VCO with 1/64 frequency divider, a transformer- coupled one-stage power amplifier, and a frequency doubler. It is fabricated in 0.13µm SiGe:C BiCMOS technology with fT/fmax of 300GHz/500GHz. The peak output power of the transmitter is 2 dBm. The 3-dB bandwidth reaches from 229 GHz to 251 GHz. The output...
A comparison of cross-coupled oscillator performance is presented for a high-speed, complementary SiGe (C-SiGe = npn + pnp) BiCMOS platform with matched npn and pnp performance. Results show with all factors held constant, the pnp-only VCO design holds an advantage in white FM phase noise over its npn counterpart at constant current; a counter-intuitive outcome if one only considers absolute base...
The iterative design of an integrated subharmonic receiver for 120-127 GHz is presented. The receiver consists of a single-ended low-noise amplifier (LNA), a push-push voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) with 1/32 divider, a polyphase filter, and a subharmonic mixer. The receiver is fabricated in SiGe:C BiCMOS technology with fT/fmax of 255 GHz/315 GHz. In the first design the differential down-conversion...
A 122 GHz subharmonic receiver for imaging and sensing applications has been realized, which consists of a single-ended LNA, a push-push VCO with 1/32 divider, a polyphase filter, and a subharmonic mixer. It is fabricated in SiGe:C BiCMOS technology with fT/fmax of 255 GHz/315 GHz. The down-conversion gain of the receiver is 25 dB at 127 GHz, and the corresponding noise figure is 11 dB. The 3-dB bandwidth...
