Abstract
We present a high dynamic range W-band frequency conversion IC, incorporating a base-collector diode mixer and a 9:1 LO frequency multiplier, implemented in a 130 nm InP HBT technology. The IC was designed for a broadly tunable 1-22 GHz dual-conversion receiver using a 100 GHz first IF. In up-conversion, from 1-22 GHz to W-band, the IC has 7 dB conversion loss and 23 dB IIP3; in down-conversion, from W-band to 0.1-22 GHz, it has 8 dB conversion loss and 23 dBm IIP3. The IC tunes most of W-band (75-105 GHz) and consumes 2 W.
