Abstract :
This paper presents our recent work towards state-of-the-art integrated test concepts for the in-situ characterization of silicon-integrated millimeter-wave devices and transceiver components for radar and communication applications. Narrowband as well as ultra-broadband integrated network analysis solutions for a variety of frequency bands ranging from 50 to 120 GHz are outlined. In this context, direct-conversion and heterodyne architectures and their respective implementations in silicon-germanium technologies are discussed.
