The 245 GHz TX consists of a 122 GHz local oscillator (LO) and a frequency doubler, and the 245 GHz RX consists of a low noise amplifier (LNA), a LO, and an active subharmonic mixer. A 245 GHz TX-array increases significantly the sensitivity of the sensor system. The 500 GHz system includes a TX-array, and a subharmonic RX with a transconductance mixer. The 500 GHz TX contains a frequency quadrupler, and the RX uses a frequency doubler for the LO. The LOs of the RX and the TX are controlled by two external phase-locked loops (PLLs). The reference frequency of the TX-PLL is frequency-modulated. The performance of the sensor system is demonstrated by using a gas absorption cell with dielectric lenses between the TX- and RX-modules, and measuring the 2f high-resolution absorption spectrum (second harmonic detection) of gaseous methanol (CH3OH) and acetonitrile (CH3CN).","PeriodicalId":138697,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 16th Topical Meeting on Silicon Monolithic Integrated Circuits in RF Systems (SiRF)","volume":"19 11","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133169666","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}

A Schottky diode ring mixer with wideband Marchand balun works as the 60-GHz RF mixer while two analog Gilbert micromixers with LO port pumped by two quadrature couplers work as IF mixers. The cut-off frequency of a Schottky diode makes a fundamental RF ring mixer possible because the series resistance of a Schottky diode is effectively reduced by the n+ buried layer in SiGe BiCMOS process. A Gilbert micromixer with an IF buffer is used to accommodate the single-ended output of the RF ring mixer. By combining these advantages, a dual-conversion down-converter is achieved. The converter has about 8 dB conversion gain, 10 GHz RF bandwidth of 50-60 GHz, 100 MHz IF bandwidth when LO1 power is 8 dBm and LO2 power is 2 dBm.","PeriodicalId":138697,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 16th Topical Meeting on Silicon Monolithic Integrated Circuits in RF Systems (SiRF)","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134459413","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}

However, since integration drives wireless business in order to achieve the appropriate cost and form factor, CMOS Silicon-on-insulator (SOI) has emerged over the past few years as the dominant technology for RF switches in RF FEMs for cell phones and WiFi [1]. While current performances available on RF SOI technology are already exceeding what was feasible using GaAs one, new cellular system such as carrier aggregation require even more stringent performances (linearity, power handling, insertion loss, isolation). To address those new requirements, RF SOI technology has to be improved. In this paper, the performances results of the latest generations of RF SOI switch technologies from STMicroelectronics are reviewed and technology elements that contribute to improved performance are discussed. Future improvements are also proposed, paving the way for RF SOI technology able to address 5G RF switches challenges.","PeriodicalId":138697,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 16th Topical Meeting on Silicon Monolithic Integrated Circuits in RF Systems (SiRF)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127894972","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}

In a 3-hour stress relaxation experiment under a 20-μm constant displacement, they exhibited a 6.2% decay and a rate of stress relaxation (at the 3rd hour) that is 9.7×/5.4× lower than that of previously reported Au/Au-V MCDs. Grounded coplanar waveguide transmission lines were built and measured on a quartz substrate in order to experimentally evaluate the electrical properties (sheet resistance: Rs, conductivity: σ, and attenuation factor: α) of the Au-V thin films through DC and RF measurements in the 20-40 GHz band.

Thanks to the thinning down of the silicon channel, SOI MOSFETs operate in fully depleted regime and short channel effects are under controlled. Besides the gate length downscaling, strain channel engineering is introduced to achieve cutoff frequencies larger than 300 GHz. SOI also presents the major advantage of providing high resistivity substrate capabilities, leading to substantially reduced substrate RF losses, crosstalk and non-linearity. High Resistivity (HR) SOI CMOS is commonly foreseen as the most promising technology for radio frequency integrated circuits and mixed signal applications. Based on several experimental results, the interest, limitations but also possible future improvements of SOI MOS technology are presented.","PeriodicalId":138697,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 16th Topical Meeting on Silicon Monolithic Integrated Circuits in RF Systems (SiRF)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128376079","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}
