A 140 GHz Transmitter with an Integrated Chip-to-Waveguide Transition using 130nm SiGe BiCMOS Process
Paper i proceeding, 2018

This paper presents a 140 GHz transmitter chipset realized in a 130 nm SiGe BiCMOS technology with f(t)/f(max) values of 250 GHz/ 370 GHz. This design comprises of a frequency sixtupler, a balanced transconductance mixer, an amplifier and chip-to-waveguide transition. The frequency multiplier operates in wide frequency band from 110-147 GHz, while the amplifier operates between 115-155 GHz. The total DC power consumption of the chipset is 420 mW. The chip size is 3 mm x 0.73 mm including chip-to-waveguide transition. The transmitter gives -4 dBm output power at 140 GHz and can operate between 129-148 GHz. Wireless data transmission up to 6 Gbps is measured using PSK and QAM modulation schemes.
