SiGe BiCMOS AND CMOS TRANSCEIVER BLOCKS FOR AUTOMOTIVE RADAR AND IMAGING APPLICATIONS IN THE 80-160 GHz RANGE
This paper examines the suitability of advanced SiGe BiCMOS and sub 65nm CMOS technologies for applications beyond 80GHz. System architectures are discussed along with the detailed comparison of VCOs, LNAs, PAs and static frequency dividers fabricated in CMOS and SiGe BiCMOS, as required for automotive cruise-control radar, high data-rate radio, and active and passive imaging in the 80GHz to 16...
متن کاملModeling and Characterization of SiGe HBT Low-Frequency Noise Figures-of-Merit for RFIC Applications
We present the first systematic experimental and modeling results of noise corner frequency ( ) and noise corner frequency to cutoff frequency ratio ( ) for SiGe heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs) in a commercial SiGe RF technology. The and ratio are investigated as a function of operating collector current density, SiGe profile, breakdown voltage, and transistor geometry. We demonstrate...
متن کاملAn 8.4 GHz SiGe/Si HBT-Based MMIC Power Amplifier
A single-stage X-band MMIC power amplifier incorporating a SiGe/Si power HBT and lumped passive components is reported. The power HBT is characterized by an fmax of 67 GHz and a BVCBO of more than 24 V. The matching circuits were designed for maximum output power using on-chip spiral inductors and SiO MIM capacitors. Continuous wave measurements were made at 8.4 GHz, under class A operation. Th...
متن کاملTransistor Noise in SiGe HBT RF Technology
This brief presents experimental and modeling results of device noise in SiGe HBT RF technology. By careful bandgap engineering, a simultaneous reduction of RF noise, 1 noise, and phase noise has been achieved. At a given , transistors with different base bandgap profiles show similar 1 noise. At a given , however, transistors with a higher (and hence lower RF noise) show lower 1 noise. Circuit...
متن کاملA Broadband 10-GHz Track-and-Hold in Si/SiGe HBT Technology
High-performance multistage data converters and sub-sampling frequency downconverters typically require track and hold amplifiers (THAs) with high sampling rates and high linearity. This paper presents a THA for sub-sampling communications applications based on a diode bridge design with high-speed Schottky diodes and an improved current source approach for enhanced linearity. Implemented in a ...
