Single-Chip 24-GHz Synthesizer for a Radar Application

Abstract: The design, implementation and testing of an MMIC 24 GHz synthesizer for radar distance sensor applications is presented. An oscillator is integrated on one chip together with a buffer amplifier, a power splitter and a receiver mixer. The chip is fabricated in GaAs mHEMT technology and has an area of 3.8x2 mm. The VCO is a varactor-tuned push-push oscillator with a tuning range of 1.4 GHz at 24 GHz. The measured output power at the transmitter output of the chip is 10 dBm and the measured phase noise is -98 dB… Show more

“…For both fields of applications a cost-effective, robust, and simple design is imperative as most of the applications do not allow for expensive systems. Hence, an SiGe monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) design is favored over a III–V MMIC [1] or a discrete design [2].…”
