The multi-cell distributed amplifier uses four gain cells where each consists of a common collector input stage followed by a cascode gain stage. The chip includes bias, decoupling and terminating circuits for the dc and RF interconnects; it measures 0.72 mm by 0.4 mm. It consumes 210 mW of power and can deliver up to 5.5 dBm of output power at 195 GHz. The amplifier achieves an average gain of 13.5 dB with an overall bandwidth over 200 GHz and a ± 2 dB gain ripple. The measurements indicate that this is the widest band dc-coupled amplifier reported to date and has the highest bandwidth reported among non-cascaded distributed amplifiers.","PeriodicalId":120932,"journal":{"name":"2017 12th European Microwave Integrated Circuits Conference (EuMIC)","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115627551","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

All efficiency loss is due to power dissipation in the electronic circuitry used to implement the communication standard. Selection of the modulation adopted by a standards working group has a dominant role in how much of the energy efficiency available from electronic technologies and circuit structures can be made visible to the communications application. Prediction of whether a particular modulation in consideration will either allow implementers to realize high values of energy efficiency — or will force implementers to use circuit techniques which place a low ceiling on the achievable energy efficiency — is an important step that must be performed during modulation selection deliberations. Prediction of this efficiency cap, if any, is readily achieved by the calculation proposed in this mostly tutorial paper. An initial comparison of presently used signal modulations is provided.","PeriodicalId":120932,"journal":{"name":"2017 12th European Microwave Integrated Circuits Conference (EuMIC)","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123123231","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The chip is implemented in a 130-nm SiGe BiCMOS technology with an of 250/300 GHz. It consists of an integrated high-gain wideband amplifier to drive the frequency doubler. The doubler is based on a cascode push-push topology. Conversion loss of the doubler is reduced by utilizing an inductive feedback in the common-base stage. A very wideband operation of the doubler is achieved using optimally sized transistors and 4-reactance based input matching network. On-wafer measurement of the chip shows a state-of-the-art 17.4 dB peak conversion gain at 270 GHz. It delivers a maximum output power of almost 1 mW with a 3-dB bandwidth ranging from 257 GHz to 307 GHz, which is the highest bandwidth for Si-based frequency doublers working entirely in the WR-03 band.
