Description
Summary:A fully integrated 90 GHz-carrier pulsed transmitter with on-chip antenna and >30 GHz measured bandwidth is demonstrated in 0.13 ¿m SiGe BiCMOS. By exploring the benefits of hybrid PA/antenna switching and high-performance digital circuitry, the transmitter generates variable-width carrier-modulated pulses with minimum measured pulse width of 35 ps.
