Abstract

In this work a combined duobinary and PAM-3 (Pulse Amplitude Modulation) modulator is designed and fabricated using a 130 nm silicon germanium process. The RF-DAC based duobinary/PAM-3 modulator covers 95 GHz of bandwidth between 35 GHz and 130 GHz and uses three-valued logic. Together with a power detector, high data rate links can be realized without carrier recovery or phase recovery, thus simplifying the overall design. Data rates up to 30 Gbps is demonstrated using duobinary modulation with a symbol error rate (SER) of 6.4 * 10−6. For PAM-3 modulation data rates up to 28 Gbps is demonstrated with a SER of 1.4 * 10−6. The wide bandwidth and high data rate makes it suitable to be used together with a polymer microwave fiber (PMF) for a low cost and robust system, instead of optic fiber.
基于多千兆RF-DAC的130 nm SiGe HBT双二进制/PAM-3调制器
本文采用130 nm硅锗工艺设计并制作了双二进制和PAM-3(脉冲幅度调制)组合调制器。基于RF-DAC的双二进制/PAM-3调制器覆盖35 GHz到130 GHz之间的95 GHz带宽,采用三值逻辑。与功率检测器一起,无需载波恢复或相位恢复即可实现高数据速率链路,从而简化了整体设计。采用符号误码率(SER)为6.4 * 10−6的双二进制调制,数据速率可达30 Gbps。PAM-3调制数据速率高达28 Gbps, SER为1.4 * 10−6。宽带宽、数据速率高,适合与聚合物微波光纤(PMF)配合使用,以实现低成本和鲁棒性,取代光纤。
