Highly integrated and compact W-band front-end for radiometry application

Abstract: Using conventional 0.25pm HEMT (VLN02 process) and pseudomorphic 0.15pm HEMT (MM015 process), a highly integrated and low power consumption receiver has been developed for a W-band radiometer. All the millimeterwave functions and even the first stage of IF amplifier are fully integrated on MMIC technology according to a multifunction approach. A compact housing has been developed for chip integration. A high performance oscillator at LO sub-harmonic provides less than -93dBc/Hz at lOOliHz from carrier at 46.6G… Show more

“…In principle, there are two ways to generate a signal at these frequencies: Either by building a VCO in HEMT-technology [1] or by multiplying a signal typically generated in the frequency range between 12 and 25 GHz [2,3]. In FMCW radar systems, the phase noise of the oscillator heavily implies on the sensibility of the whole system.…”
