摘要
In this paper a single-ended fully integrated Si/SiGe HBT amplifier working at a center frequency of 79GHz is presented. The amplifier consists of three cascode stages. A trimmable line technique and an efficient DC filtering network were used. The amplifier shows a maximum measured gain of 13.2dB at exactly 79GHz and an excellent reverse isolation of more than 40 dB over the whole measured frequency range. Its performance was measured at different temperatures, showing a decrease of 5.3dB in gain between room temperature and 85 degrees C. The measured -1 dB input compression point is at -15 dBm. The power consumption is 52 mW at a supply voltage of 2.7 V. The circuit has a compact layout and consumes an area of 525 x 500 mu m(2) including bonding pads.
