The developed transceiver adopts an almost all-digital architecture, except for a single variable gain pre-amplifier placed before the receiver ADC. All other functions of the transceiver (filtering, up-conversion, down-conversion) are implemented as digital signal processing circuitry. The transceiver highly oversamples the UHF band at a rate of 1280 MS/s allowing additional dynamic range to be obtained with modest bit-depth data converters (10-bit transmit and 7-bit receive). The transceiver expects an external baseband processor implemented in software or programmable logic for Channel-coding, Link and Network-layer operations. It also contains a stand-alone hailing function that allows it to wake up downstream avionics without requiring baseband processing when a hailing signal is received within a programmable bandwidth. The CMOS transceiver chip is implemented in a 65 nm CMOS technology and consumes a total power of 356 mW, not counting the need for an external III-V Low Noise Amplifier and Power Amplifier.","PeriodicalId":93296,"journal":{"name":"IEEE journal of microwaves","volume":"4 4","pages":"653-665"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10680469","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142408681","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is based on the direct connection of two identical inline filtering units without stopband TZs in an in-parallel configuration by means of unequal input/output transmission-line segments for each branch. Unlike in typical transversal-signal-interference and channelized filter architectures, the overall length of these connecting transmission-line segments for both branches is the same. Thus, the multi-notch/TZ generation in the whole filtering action is accomplished by differently distributing this total electrical length between the input/output transmission-line segments for the two branches. As such, enhanced selectivity in the filtering response with several embedded notches when compared to the filtering transfer function of an isolated branch can be obtained.

The extensive simulations and experimental measurements on male and female subjects validate its effectiveness with consistent and distinguishable resonant frequency shifts. The sensor's stability across different forearm locations, its ability to differentiate between arteries and veins, and its adherence to safety regulations with low-power microwave signals contribute to its robustness.

With more sensors, the probability of performance degrading interferences increases. A promising solution to the interferences is orthogonal frequency division multiplex (OFDM) radar. Due to the complex modulation scheme, the analog front end, especially the power amplifier in the transmitter, has to deal with a high peak-to-average power ratio. Therefore, conventional amplifiers have to be operated in power back-off to maintain linear operation at the drawback of reduced power-added efficiency. To mitigate this problem, a Doherty power amplifier for an automotive radar transceiver is proposed. In this work, we present a design methodology for an integrated Doherty amplifier for automotive radar applications, focussing on the theory of operation by analyzing transistor-level simulations. Small- and large signal simulations analyze the concept of load modulation for a Doherty amplifier in the automotive frequency band from 76--81 GHz. Using a fully differential transmission-line-based approach, we showcase the superior performance of an automotive Doherty amplifier over an conventional state-of-the-art reference amplifier. In measurements, the proposed Doherty amplifier achieves a saturated output power of 17.2 dBm with a peak power-added efficiency of 11.6%. When operating in 6 dB back-off, the PAE still amounts to 6.1%. Thereby we propose to improve conventional automotive power amplifiers by incorporating them into a Doherty amplifier.","PeriodicalId":93296,"journal":{"name":"IEEE journal of microwaves","volume":"4 4","pages":"721-732"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2024-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10605125","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142408817","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
