This book was released on 2008 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research focuses on the design and analysis of on-chip phased-array receivers and transmitters in silicon technologies. Passive phase shifters have been widely used in conventional discrete implementations of phased-arrays which are based on transmit/receive modules in III-V technologies. However their large volume and high loss impose several challenging issues for on-chip integration. To leverage system optimizations of on-chip phased-arrays, active phase shifter architecture is primarily investigated in this dissertation. The active phase shifter utilizes a quadrature signal interpolation where the I/Q signals are added with appropriate amplitude and polarity to synthesize the required phase. The quadrature signal generator is a key element for accurate multi-bit phase states in the active phase shifter. To generate lossless wideband quadrature signals, a novel I/Q signal generator based on second-order L-C series resonance is developed. Active phase shifters with 4-bit and 5-bit control are then designed in 0.13-um and 0.18-um CMOS technologies and tested successfully for 6-26 GHz phased-arrays applications, featuring the smallest chip size ever reported at these frequencies with similar phase resolutions. After successful demonstration of the active phase shifters, an eight-element phased-array receiver is developed in 0.18-um SiGe BiCMOS technology for X- and Ku-band satellite communications. The phased-array receiver adopts corporate-feed architecture implemented with active signal combiners. The phased-array receiver is rigorously characterized including channel-to-channel mismatches and signal coupling errors from different channels. The on-chip phased-array designs are then extended to millimeter-wave frequencies. A four-element phased-array receiver and a sixteen-element phased-array transmitter are designed using the SiGe BiCMOS technology and tested successfully for Q-band applications. Wilkinson couplers are compactly integrated for linear coherent signal combining in the Q-band phased-array receiver. Also in the Q-band transmitter array, passive Tee-junction power dividers are integrated as a linear signal feed network. The power divider is based on a coaxial-type shielded transmission line utilizing three-dimensional metal stack, which leads to a compact corporate-feed network suitable for large on-chip arrays. The sixteen-element phased-array transmitter marks the highest integration of phased-array elements known to-date, proving a good scalability to a large array of the proposed phased-array architecture. Also, each phased-array design integrates all digital control units and presents the first demonstration of on-chip silicon phased-array at the corresponding design frequency, solving one of key barriers for low-cost and complex phased-arrays.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis presents a W-band wafer-scale phased array transmitter with high efficiency on-chip antennas. The 4x4 phased array is based on an RF beamforming architecture with an equiphase distribution network and 2-bit phase shifters placed in every element. The differential on-chip antennas are implemented using a 100 um thick quartz superstrate and have an efficiency of ~45% at 110 GHz. The use of electromagnetically coupled antenna leads to wafer-scale phased array concept with simple integration method. The phased array transmitter is implemented in 0.18 [mu]m SiGe BiCMOS process, and the measurement shows an array gain of 26.5 dB, pattern directivity of 17.0 dBi, maximum EIRP of 23-25 dBm at 108-114 GHz. The direct pattern measurement from the phased array transmitter shows beam steering capabilities up to plus/minus ±30° in two orthogonal directions. This is the first demonstration of wafer-scale phased array in silicon technology. Millimeter-wave circuit components in 45nm SOI CMOS technology are also presented. Transmission-line based D-band common-source and cascode amplifers are designed with the peak gain of 8.7 dB at 147 GHz and 6.1 dB at 171 GHz, respectively. The experimental characterization of the technology shows that on-chip passive elements has low-quality factor, and it can offset performance advantage of the active devices. A 60 GHz active phased shifter with quadrature all-pass filter shows -4 dB insertion gain with

This book was released on 2021 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Phased array technologies has been in development for many decades but primarily in defense industry with large complicated systems and excessively high cost. With the recent advances in silicon chips and printed-circuit board (PCB) manufacturing, planar phased arrays can be built on a PCB in a compact form with drastically lower cost. The new 5G communication standards also utilize millimeter wave bands that require phased arrays with high effective isotropic radiated power (EIRP) and beam steering capabilities. The 5G systems, with the fast growing industry of satellite communications on-the-move, and millimeter wave automotive radars used for self-driving technologies, contribute to a giant market in need of a large amount of low cost phased arrays. This dissertation focuses on such commercial-use phased arrays, studies their artifacts and how to eliminate them, provides solutions to optimized phased-array systems, and proposes calibration methods essential for their performance. First, it presents the intersymbol interference (ISI) caused by the phased array when it is scanned with a simple effective equalization scheme, and then, it presents a TX/RX phased-array system with a reduced number of randomly distributed elements that is optimized for radar applications. This dissertation also presents a new method for phased array calibration based on 2x2 sub-arrays that is more robust across different scan angles and yields better performance while reducing the measurement time. Finally, a method to measure the error vector magnitude (EVM) of the phased array in the near-field is presented, which can be used to verify the calibration and performance of phased arrays in communication systems when they are deployed in the field.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation presents millimeter-wave transmit/receive phased-arrays at 60 GHz, which are used to demonstrate long-range and high data-rate communication links. A 32-element one-dimensional (1-D) phased-array is built with 2$\times$2 beamformer chips flipped on a low-cost printed circuit board. Series-fed microstrip antennas are used, which limits the bandwidth to around 2 GHz at 64 GHz center frequency. The phased-array scans only in the azimuth plane with a 3$^o$ beamwidth and has a wide beam of 12$^o$ in elevation. The phased-array’s high effective isotropic radiated power (EIRP) of around 42 dBm and low noise figure of 6.5 dB enable long-range communication at 500 Mbps over 800 m. A two-dimensional (2-D) scanning phased-array is also built using the same beamformer chips on a more complex multilayer board. The 2-D phased-array has an EIRP of 45 dBm in saturation and scans up to +/- 15$^o$ in the elevation plane and +/-50$^o$ in the azimuth. Stacked microstrip antennas are used, enabling a wide bandwidth of $\sim$8 GHz for the phased-array. Data-rates of up to 30 Gbps are achieved with 64-QAM modulation using the full bandwidth of the phased-array. An analysis of intermodulation effects in receive-mode phased-arrays is presented and verified through experimental results from a Ka-band 5G phased-array. The intermodulation products are shown to peak at scan angles which do not correspond to the interferer directions. Experimental evidence is presented to show that the adjacent channel power ratio (ACPR) of transmit phased-arrays improves with larger number of elements at a given backoff from the compression point. This implies better transmit efficiency in larger phased-arrays. Finally, techniques are presented for reducing the number of phase-shifters in a 2-D phased-array while maintaining a limited scan range in the vertical and horizontal planes. It is shown that the number of phase-shifters can be reduced by 75\%, while maintaining a scan range of +/-15$^o$ in the elevation and +/-40$^o$ in the azimuth.

Book excerpt: This thesis presents the application of millimeter wave silicon integrated circuits towards high data rate wireless communications and wireless power transfer (WPT). Power generation in the D-band is challenging due to device limitations, therefore we present a SiGe transmitter that is fully packaged with a dielectric rod antenna-in-package that provides EIRP greater than 15 dBm at 135 GHz and consumes 366 mW. Next, we propose WPT in the radiative near-field using electrically large phased arrays. The trade-offs of this approach are analyzed to optimize an antenna array over frequency. Finally, a 4-channel Ka-band transmitter beamformer was fabricated on TSMC's 65nm CMOS technology, and is meant for large scalable arrays. Since the cost of the array is partly driven by the electronics, the beamformer architecture aims to reduce the overall chip area using a traveling wave distribution network. The proposed RFIC consumes 1.65 mm2 of die area and 320 mW (84 mW/element).

This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Demands of multi-standard operation have risen in millimeter-wave 5G phased arrays, in order to achieve more band coverage, reduce fabrication and deployment costs and realize inter-band carrier aggregation. This dissertation investigates dual-band and wideband design approaches to realize multi-standard phased array systems. In the dual-band approach, a 32-element dual-band, dual-beam phased array is designed by integrating dual-band patch antennas with commercial narrowband beamformers. Another design introduces an 8-element dual-band, dual-polarized, dual-beam phased array targeted at compact system applications. Both designs achieve 26-29 GHz and 37-41 GHz operation. In the wideband phased array approach, a novel stacked wideband dipole antenna is developed and integrated with a wideband SiGe Tx/Rx beamformers to achieve operation of 23-46 GHz. A single-polarized 64-element array and a dual-polarized 8-element array are then demonstrated with state-of-the-art performance. The 64-element array achieves a maximum EIRP of 50 dBm at P1dB operation, and 8-element dual-pol. array achieves 29 dBm. Both arrays demonstrate less than 4% EVM when transmitting 64-QAM 5G OFDM signal with 6-8 dB backoff from P1dB.
