摘要
For use in automotive radar applications we have designed and fabricated several push-push VCOs within the frequency range 67 to 75GHz. In this paper we present one of these oscillators which can be tuned from 71.3GHz to 75.8GHz. In this tuning range the measured output power is 3.5 +/- 0.4 dBm with an DC to RF efficiency eta = 1.6 %. The measured single sideband phase noise is below -105dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset frequency. With a reduced supply voltage the efficiency can be increased to = 3.5 % with an RF output power of 1.5 dBm. The circuits are fabricated in a production-near Si(,e:C bipolar technology. The SiGe:C bipolar transistors show a maximum transit frequency f(T) = 200 GHz and a maximum frequency of oscillation f(max) = 275 GM. For the passive circuitry transmission-line components, MIM-capacitors and integrated resistors are used.
