A 110 - 135 GHz Integrated Sixport Receiver Front-End in a 130-NM BiCMOS Technology
asia pacific microwave conference(2018)
摘要
In this paper, a fully monolithic low-power sixport receiver front-end working from 110 to 135 GHz including an oscillator with divider stages, a passive sixport network and four detectors is presented. The measurement principle is based on an additive superposition of two incident millimeter-wave signals. The receiver circuit blocks are described and the measurement results are presented. All components have been designed using a $mathbf{0.13 mu m}$ 250 GHz $mathbf{f}_{mathbf{T}}$ SiGe BiCMOS technology. The whole integrated circuit has a size of $mathbf{1960} boldsymbolmu mathbf m mathbf{x 1500 mu m}$ including bondpads and consumes 100 mA from a 3.3 V and 82 mA from a 1.8 V supply. The receiver exhibits a 1 dB compression point of −1.3dBm at the center frequency of 121.5GHz. The VCO has a tuning range of 27 GHz, with a best case phase noise of −110 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset measured at the divider output for PLL stabilization. The maximum oscillator output power is −0.4dBm.
