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...

SiGe BiCMOS LNA’S AND TUNABLE ACTIVE FILTER FOR FUTURE WIDE-BAND MULTI-PURPOSE ARRAY ANTENNAS

In this paper, we present three monolithical microwave integrated circuits (MMIC’s) that potentially may be used in the receiver front-ends of future wide-band multi-purpose array antennas, for example. Two low-noise amplifiers (LNA’s) and one tunable filter have been designed in a 0.35μm bipolar complementary metal oxide semiconductor (BiCMOS) technology containing high frequency silicongerman...

Analysis and Design of W-band Phase Shifters

This thesis describes 80−94GHz and 70−77GHz interpolating phase shifters and the corresponding transmitter and receiver ICs, fabricated in 65-nm CMOS and SiGe BiCMOS technologies, respectively. Lumped inductors and transformers are employed to realize small-form factor 90◦ hybrids as needed in high density phased arrays. The CMOS transmitter exhibits absolute phase and amplitude errors of 4◦ an...
