Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of dissertation is to explore feasibility of designing millimeter-wave (mmWave) circuits in CMOS technology, especially when frequency is close to the maximum oscillation frequency f[subscript max] of the active device. In this dissertation, an embedding network method is proposed to design high efficiency fundamental oscillators and high gain amplifier. First, it reports an approach to designing compact high efficiency mmWave fundamental oscillators operating above the f[subscript max]/2 of the active device. The approach takes full consideration of the nonlinearity of the active device and the finite quality factor of the passive devices to provide an accurate and optimal oscillator design in terms of the output power and efficiency. 213-GHz single-ended and differential fundamental oscillators in 65-nm CMOS technology are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. Using a compact capacitive transformer design, the single-ended oscillator achieves 0.79-mW output power per transistor (16 [mu]m) at 1.0-V supply and a peak dc-to-RF efficiency of 8.02% (V[subscript DD]=0.80 V) within a core area of 0.0101 mm2, and the measured phase noise is −93.4 dBc/Hz at 1-MHz offset. The differential oscillator exhibits approximately the same performance. A 213-GHz fundamental voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) with bulk tuning method is also developed in this work. The measured peak efficiency of the VCO is 6.02% with a tuning rang of 2.3% at 0.6-V supply.In order to further improve dc-to-RF efficiency, an optimization-based design methodology is then proposed for high-power and high-efficiency mmWave fundamental oscillators in CMOS technology. The optimization is formulated to take into account the loss of the passive components to result in an optimal circuit design. The proposed approach can produce the final design in a single pass of optimization with a fast and robust convergence profile. A comparative study between the T - and the [pi]-embedding networks is presented. It shows that T -embedding is superior to [pi]-embedding in terms of flexibility in biasing and sensitivity to component Q. A design example of a 215-GHz fundamental oscillator in a 65-nm CMOS technology is presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed design approach. The oscillator achieves 5.17-dBm peak output power at 1.2-V supply with a corresponding dc-to-RF efficiency 12.3% and a peak efficiency of 13.7%. The measured phase noise is −90.0 dBc/Hz and −116.2 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz and 10 MHz offset, respectively. Lastly, embedding network theory is presented to design high gain amplifier in this dissertation. Two embedding theories, constant GC/U and G[subscript max]/GC, are proposed. A 210-GHz high gain amplifier example is designed. Two 16 [mu]m NMOS transistors consist of a differential circuit with V[subscript DD] = 1.2 V and VG = 0.45 V. The total dc power of the designed 210-GHz amplifier is 12.8 mW. The simulated Gain S21 is 16.66 dB. NF is 7.38 dB. Stability factor k is 3.82 at 210 GHz. The simulated 1dB compression point P1dB, input referred third-order intercept point, IIP3 is -22.33 dB, and -12.97 dB, respectively. These simulated results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed design theory.

Download or read book Design of Millimeter Wave Power Ampliers in Silicon written by Nader Kalantari and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first part of this dissertation focuses on the millimeter-wave power amplifier in silicon where both switching and linear power amplifiers were investigated. In Chapter 2, a Q-band, Class-E power amplifier has been designed and fabricated in a 120 nm SiGe BiCMOS technology. The amplifier was designed for high output power using on-chip power combining networks. It operates respectively from a 1.2 V supply for peak efficiency and a 2.4 V supply for maximum power and occupies an area of 0.801 mm2. A peak PAE of 18% is measured for an output power of 11.3 dBm at 45 GHz and a maximum of 19.4 dBm is measured at 42 GHz with a PAE of 14.4%. The power amplifier operates from 42 to 50 GHz. Chapter 3, presents a W-band, tapered constructive wave power amplifier (TCWPA) that has been designed and fabricated in a 120 nm SiGe BiCMOS technology. The amplifier has a 3 dB BW of 19 GHz from 91-110 GHz and a maximum gain of 12.5 dB at 101 GHz. At 98 GHz, OP1dB is 4.9 dBm. At 97 GHz, saturated output power is 5.9 dBm and the PAE is 7.2%. The amplifier operates from a 2.4 V supply and occupies an area of 0.22 mm2. A novel circuit topology for power amplifier was introduced in Chapter 4 where only one network is used to provide both input and output matching. This new topology incorporates a feedback network around the transistor to satisfy matching requirements. Circuit parameters can be tuned for small- and large-signal circuit operation. The power amplifier is fabricated in a 120 nm SiGe BiCMOS process and performs from 36 to 41 GHz. The PA achieves a saturated output power of 23 dBm and a peak power added efficiency of 20% at 38 GHz. The second part of this dissertation focuses on the performance analysis of phase-interpolated dual loop clock and data recovery. It presents a four channel receiver for high-speed signal conditioning. Each channel consists of a continuous time linear equalizer (CTLE) and a dual loop CDR with phase-interpolator. All channels share a single PLL that generates and distributes quadrature clock phases to each CDR for data recovery. Clock amplitude, phase INL and phase DNL are derived for IQ phase error and predict phase-dependent jitter contributions to the recovered clock. The multilane receiver was designed in 130 nm CMOS technology. The die occupies an area of 1930 [mu]m by 1250 [mu]m and consumes 67.9 mW per channel. It achieves a maximum data rate of 7 Gbps per channel for 0 and ±200 ppm clock frequency deviation. Quadrature clocks are used in locking mechanism of phase-interpolated CDRs. Due to circuit non-idealities, any mismatch in the quadraure phase causes jitter increase and ultimately increase of bit error rate. The material is presented in Chapter 5.

Download or read book Microwave and Millimetre Wave Design for Wireless Communications written by Ian Robertson and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2016-08-29 with total page 613 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes a full range of contemporary techniques for the design of transmitters and receivers for communications systems operating in the range from 1 through to 300 GHz. In this frequency range there is a wide range of technologies that need to be employed, with silicon ICs at the core but, compared with other electronics systems, a much greater use of more specialist devices and components for high performance – for example, high Q-factor/low loss and good power efficiency. Many text books do, of course, cover these topics but what makes this book timely is the rapid adoption of millimetre-waves (frequencies from 30 to 300 GHz) for a wide range of consumer applications such as wireless high definition TV, '5G' Gigabit mobile internet systems and automotive radars. It has taken many years to develop low-cost technologies for suitable transmitters and receivers, so previously these frequencies have been employed only in expensive military and space applications. The book will cover these modern technologies, with the follow topics covered; transmitters and receivers, lumped element filters, tranmission lines and S-parameters, RF MEMS, RFICs and MMICs, and many others. In addition, the book includes extensive line diagrams to illustrate circuit diagrams and block diagrams of systems, including diagrams and photographs showing how circuits are implemented practically. Furthermore, case studies are also included to explain the salient features of a range of important wireless communications systems. The book is accompanied with suitable design examples and exercises based on the Advanced Design System – the industry leading CAD tool for wireless design. More importantly, the authors have been working with Keysight Technologies on a learning & teaching initiative which is designed to promote access to industry-standard EDA tools such as ADS. Through its University Educational Support Program, Keysight offers students the opportunity to request a student license, backed up with extensive classroom materials and support resources. This culminates with students having the chance to demonstrate their RF/MW design and measurement expertise through the Keysight RF & Microwave Industry-Ready Student Certification Program. www.keysight.com/find/eesof-university www.keysight.com/find/eesof-student-certification

Download or read book Millimeter Wave Low Noise Amplifiers written by Mladen Božanić and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-11-30 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first standalone book that combines research into low-noise amplifiers (LNAs) with research into millimeter-wave circuits. In compiling this book, the authors have set two research objectives. The first is to bring together the research context behind millimeter-wave circuit operation and the theory of low-noise amplification. The second is to present new research in this multi-disciplinary field by dividing the common LNA configurations and typical specifications into subsystems, which are then optimized separately to suggest improvements in the current state-of-the-art designs. To achieve the second research objective, the state-of-the-art LNA configurations are discussed and the weaknesses of state-of the art configurations are considered, thus identifying research gaps. Such research gaps, among others, point towards optimization – at a systems and microelectronics level. Optimization topics include the influence of short wavelength, layout and crosstalk on LNA performance. Advanced fabrication technologies used to decrease the parasitics of passive and active devices are also explored, together with packaging technologies such as silicon-on-chip and silicon-on-package, which are proposed as alternatives to traditional IC implementation. This research outcome builds through innovation. Innovative ideas for LNA construction are explored, and alternative design methodologies are deployed, including LNA/antenna co-design or utilization of the electronic design automation in the research flow. The book also offers the authors’ proposal for streamlined automated LNA design flow, which focuses on LNA as a collection of highly optimized subsystems.

We provide a basic overview of the two technologies from a technical standpoint, followed by a review of the state-of-the-art of several key building blocks in wireless systems. The influences of system requirements on the choice of semiconductor technology are vital to understanding the merits of CMOS and BiCMOS devices – e.g., output power, battery life, adjacent channel interference, cost restrictions, and so forth. These requirements, in turn, affect component-level design and performance metrics of oscillators, mixers, power and low-noise amplifiers, as well as phase-locked loops and data converters. Finally, the book offers a peek into the next generation of wireless technologies such as THz -band systems and future 6G applications.
