Abstract :
This paper presents an integrated mixed-signal 120GHz FMCW/CW radar chipset in a 0.13μm SiGe BiCMOS technology. It features on-chip MMW built-in-self-test (BIST) circuits, a harmonic transceiver, software linearization (SWL) circuits and a digital interface. This chipset has been tested in a low-cost package, where the antennas are integrated. Above 100GHz, our transceiver has achieved state-ofthe-art integration level and receiver linearity, and DC power consumption.
