Abstract

Abstract—A monolithic low noise variable gain amplifier (LNA)
operating at 60 GHz is presented. It is designed for a sixport
receiver, which is completely integrated on a single chip. These
chips are build in highly miniaturized sensors to measure
distances with radar. Therefore a high performance LNA is
indispensable. The circuit has been designed using a new 0.13 m
SiGe BiCMOS process from IHP (SG13G2). For implementation
a three stage architecture is chosen. Measurements show a
tuneable gain from 16 to 24 dB at 60 GHz, an input matching of
-17 dB and an output matching of -14 dB. The circuit consumes
13mA from a 3.3V supply.
