A Single-Chip Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Transceiver in 0.13- m SiGe BiCMOS
نویسنده
چکیده
We report the first absorption-based single-chip transceiver for electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy in silicon. The chip is implemented in a 0.13m SiGe BiCMOS process technology. The transmitter generates and delivers a continuous-wave microwave signal with a frequency range from 895 to 979 MHz and the receiver adopts a direct-conversion architecture. Based on the single-chip transceiver and a printed-circuit-board-based planar resonator, an EPR spectrometer is assembled and tested. The spectrometer successfully measures the EPR response from samples including 2,2-Diphenyl-1-Picrylhydrazyl powder, Fe O nanoparticles, and Fe O nanoparticles.

Recently, spiral inductors have widely been used in the design of matching circuits of a wireless transceiver. However, such elements usually have low quality factor (Q) and may encounter the self-resonance in microwave-frequency band which permits its use in higher frequencies, and on the other hand, they occupy the large on-chip space. This paper presents a new design theory for the impedance...
