Abstract :
This paper presents circuits in SiGe bipolar technology for automotive radar applications at 77 GHz. They cover the transmit and receive path of typical radar sensors and include a voltage-controlled oscillator with integrated power amplifier and frequency divider, an active mixer and a low-noise amplifier
