Abstract

Receiver and transmitter RFICs for Ku-band mobile satellite communication are designed using SiGe BiCMOS technology. The phase shifter, attenuator and serial-to-parallel converter are implemented using CMOS FETs. SiGe HBTs are used to designing low noise amplifier, driver amplifier and power amplifier The receiver RFIC exhibits gain of 25 dB, typical noise figure of 6 dB over 10.7 GHz to 12.75 GHz. The receiver RFIC also provide 5-bit phase control with 7° rms phase error and 5-bit attenuation control with 1 dB rms attenuation error. The transmitter RFIC exhibits gain of 19.2 dB, P1dB of 18.2 dBm with phase and gain control functions over the Ku-band frequency of 14 GHz to 14.5 GHz.
