چکیده
A miniaturized V-band active transmit balun suitable for direct attachment to an integrated on-chip dipole antenna is proposed in this work. The circuit is constructed using a 0.35 μm SiGe HBT bipolar process (Infineon fT / fmax=170/250 GHz) operating at 55-65 GHz is fabricated and measured. The circuit exhibits a more than 11 dB conversion gain with magnitude imbalance less than 1 dB and phase error less than 5 degrees from 55 GHz to 65 GHz. The chip area is 0.6x0.7 mm2 including all pads.

An 8 – 18 GHz Wideband SiGe BiCMOS Low Noise Amplifier
In this paper, an 8 – 18 GHz wideband low noise amplifier (LNA) with an active balun fabricated in a 0.13-μm SiGe BiCMOS technology was presented. The LNA achieves 16dB of gain with 1.5 dB variation over the 8GHz to 18 GHz frequency band and a matched input with less than -9 dB of reflection. The minimum noise figure (NF) is 5 dB at 8GHz and increases to 6 dB at 18GHz. The measured IIP3 is -15-...

A circuit topology that provides large bandwidth single-ended to differential conversion is presented. The proposed cell is based on a differential pair where feedback on common mode signal provides about 6 dB conversion gain increase, together with attenuation of common mode signal. Small-signal characterisation is presented, based on a block decomposition of the cell. Measurements on a SiGe t...
