摘要
Although the SNR and thus the maximum range of FMCW radar systems benefit from high output powers, they can conventionally be limited by the receiver linearity. As a solution, we propose a fully integrated diode-based down-conversion ring mixer designed in Infineon's B11HFC 130nm SiGe BiCMOS technology. Excellent port isolation allows this architecture to be used throughout the D-band up to the power range substantially exceeding the state-of-the-art. The mixer exhibits a measured, maximum 1 dB compression point of 11.9dBm and a minimum voltage loss of 1.1 dB. Complemented by a matching network and optimized for connection to an operational amplifier, it represents a competitive alternative to conventional, active approaches.
