Abstract

In this paper, a fully monolithic low-power sixport
receiver front-end working from 110 to 135GHz 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 0.13μm 250GHz fT SiGe BiCMOS technology. The whole
integrated circuit has a size of 1960μm x 1500μm including
bondpads and consumes 100mA from a 3.3V and 82mA from
a 1.8V supply. The receiver exhibits a 1 dB compression point
of -1.3dBm at the center frequency of 121.5 GHz. The VCO
has a tuning range of 27 GHz, with a best case phase noise
of -110 dBc/Hz at 1MHz offset measured at the divider output
for PLL stabilization. The maximum oscillator output power is
-0.4 dBm.
