A 236–311-GHz SiGe BiCMOS Receiver for High Data Rate Communication
Artikel i vetenskaplig tidskrift, 2026
An H-band (220–325 GHz) 90-nm silicon–germanium (SiGe) BiCMOS receiver (Rx) for high data rate communication is presented. It consists of an ×8 local oscillator (LO) multiplier chain and a Gilbert cell-based downconverter mixer. The 3-dB RF bandwidth is 75 GHz, using an IF of 1 GHz. At 288 GHz, the 3-dB IF bandwidth is 24 GHz. It supports data rates up to 100 Gb/s using 32-QAM modulation, with a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 17.6 dB and error vector magnitude (EVM) of 8.4%. The DC power consumption for the Rx is 237 mW.
