Abstract
This paper presents the design and characterization results of the key components of calibrated passive radiometer (Dicke-radiometer) operating in the low D-band (around 130 GHz) and realized in IBM's standard 0.12-um SiGe BiCMOS technology (IBM8HP, fT /fMAX =180/220 GHz). Several perspective candidates for the Dicke-switch, the low-noise amplifier and the square-law detector have been designed and characterized, obtaining fair agreement between the measured and the simulated performance.
本文介绍了在IBM标准0.12 um SiGe BiCMOS技术(IBM8HP, fT /fMAX =180/220 GHz)下工作的低d频段(约130 GHz)校准无源辐射计(Dicke-radiometer)关键部件的设计和表征结果。对迪克开关、低噪声放大器和平方律检测器的几种候选器件进行了设计和表征,获得了测量性能和仿真性能的良好一致性。
