📄 原文摘要

A chipset for emerging high-frequency applications at 158 to 165GHz is presented. The two chips (RX and TX) are implemented in a European (DotFive) SiGe BiCMOS technology with fT=260GHz and fMAX=380GHz [1]. Envisioned applications include broadband wireless communication, ranging, and imaging using quadrature modulation schemes. Highly integrated mm-Wave SiGe transceivers have been previously demonstrated for communication at 60GHz [2] and 77GHz
