The receiver is implemented in a $mathbf{0.13}mumathbf{m}$ SiGe BiCMOS technology with $f_{T}/f_{MAX}$ of 250/330 GHz and consists of a Dicke switch, an LNA, an image-reject mixer, a frequency multiplier, and an IF amplifier. Across 56–69 GHz, the receiver achieves a mean conversion gain of 65 dB, a minimum noise figure of 4.3/6.1 dB without/with the Dicke switch, and a mean image rejection ratio of 31dB. The high-gain frequency quadrupler allows operation with an LO power as low as −18 dBm. This chip consumes a total DC power of 180 mW and occupies an active area of 3.1 mm2. This is the first reported monolithic receiver front-end for atmospheric measurements across the 60 GHz oxygen spectrum and it achieves the lowest noise figure among similar Si-based Dicke radiometers.","PeriodicalId":272808,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE BiCMOS and Compound Semiconductor Integrated Circuits and Technology Symposium (BCICTS)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121177729","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}

This work explicitly examines achieving a temperature-independent $beta$ via profile design in SiGe HBTs, and explores the limitations using triangular and ledge-based Ge profiles at the EB junction. The effects of base width and the EB junction separation length are also investigated for reduced parasitic capacitance and improved frequency response at low-bias currents. This work presents the underlying theory, along with the measured results for the two optimization targets, both of which should aid in designing circuits with better linearity and stability across bias and temperature corners.","PeriodicalId":272808,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE BiCMOS and Compound Semiconductor Integrated Circuits and Technology Symposium (BCICTS)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128646774","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}

No leaks were detected after gross-leak testing. Vertically-aligned graphitic substrate (VGS) provided the second solution to control thermal spreading and transients from GaN to the spreader. A Copper-laminated VGS with stacking graphene planes in Y and Z-axes significantly reduced the channel temperature and Thermal resistance (Rth) by 40 K and 0.28 K/W than those in Cu-based composite substrate (CCS) even for the same spreader thickness of 1 mm. Since thermal diffusivity for VGS is ten times faster than CCS., temperature difference during ON/OFF intervals was reduced by 18 K between Cu-laminated VGS-packaged and CCS-packaged GaN HEMTs. The time constant of Cu-laminated VGS-packaged GaN HEMT was 2.5 ms, much longer than 0.2 ms.","PeriodicalId":272808,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE BiCMOS and Compound Semiconductor Integrated Circuits and Technology Symposium (BCICTS)","volume":"173 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116106527","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 recent nonlinear embedding technique can significantly expedite the design process by removing the time-consuming source/loadpull measurements. This technique is demonstrated using the Angelov model for a 15 W peak power gallium nitride device. The power amplifier design starts from the intrinsic conceptual design and then the external conditions to maintain the intended operation are directly calculated using the nonlinear embedding. This technique is applied to a 9.54 dB back-off asymmetric Doherty power amplifier. 71 % drain efficiency at the peak power of 41.8 dBm and 62.7 % at 32.8 dBm (9 dB back-off) were measured. This technique is further investigated for the linear broadband design space identification. The linearization of the nonlinear intrinsic current source is proposed for the nonlinear embedding. The two dimensional design space is identified by applying the nonlinear embedding to the load modulated continuous-classF3 mode waveforms. The identified design space is applied to the manufacturer model and then the intrinsic waveforms are observed for the intended operation verification.","PeriodicalId":272808,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE BiCMOS and Compound Semiconductor Integrated Circuits and Technology Symposium (BCICTS)","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128726944","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}
