Abstract:

A monolithic low noise variable gain amplifier (LNA) operating at 60 GHz is presented. It is designed for a sixport receiver, which is completely integrated on a single chip. These chips are build in highly miniaturized sensors to measure distances with radar. Therefore a high performance LNA is indispensable. The circuit has been designed using a new 0.13 μm SiGe BiCMOS process from IHP (SG13G2). For implementation a three stage architecture is chosen. Measurements show a tuneable gain from 16 to 24 dB at 60 GHz, an input matching of -17 dB and an output matching of -14 dB. The circuit consumes 13 mA from a 3.3 V supply.
