Abstract:This paper presents a highly integrated, high performance four channel linear transimpedance amplifier (TIA) RFIC with a footprint of 2mmx3.5mm towards next generation 100G/400G miniaturized coherent receivers. A TIA of such form may become indispensable as the size, complexity and cost of receivers continue to reduce. The design has been realized in a 130nm SiGe BiCMOS process for a low cost, high performance solution towards longhaul/metro applications. The TIA is capable of providing control functions eithe… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
