“…Figure 2 shows the double-balanced fundamentally-operated down-conversion mixer with the baseband amplifier used at the outputs of both IQ channels. In comparisonwith the standard Gilbert-cell mixer topology [1], the transconductance stage has been removed, eliminating the capacitive internal node between this stage and the switching-quad. This leads into an improvement in the RF operating bandwidth of the receiver.…”

“…Nevertheless, the recent advancement in the semiconductor process technology [7] has made silicon a low-cost alternative for high data-rate communication systems above 200 GHz. Several receivers with different architectures have already been published working in the frequency band between 100 and 300 GHz based on a silicon technology [1,[8][9][10][11].…”

This paper presents a fully-integrated direct-conversion fundamentally-operated mixer-first quadrature receiver module with a tunable LO in the 219–266 GHz band. It has been implemented in a 0.13-μm SiGe heterojunction bipolar transistor technology. It includes an on-chip LO path driven externally from the printed circuit board (PCB) connector level at 13.6–16.7 GHz. A hybrid coupler generates the quadrature LO signal, which drives a pair of double-balanced fundamentally-operated down-conversion mixers, whose RF ports are connected to a wideband lens-integrated on-chip ring antenna. The chip-on-lens assembly is placed in the recess of a high-speed PCB and wire-bonded. To compensate the inductive behavior of the wire-bond interconnection between the chip and the PCB at the high-speed IF outputs, an on-board 8-section step-impedance low-pass filter has been implemented. The module shows a 47 GHz 3-dB radio frequency/local oscillator operation bandwidth (BW), a peak conversion gain of 7.8 dB, a single-side-band noise figure of 11.3 dB, and a 3-dB IF BW of 13 GHz. The in-phase and quadrature amplitude imbalance stays below 1.58 dB for the 210–280 GHz band. The down-conversion and the baseband stages consume together 75.5 mW, while the LO path 378 mW. The maximum data-rate achieved with this receiver in combination with the transmitter presented in [1–3] is 60 Gbps for quadrature phase shift keying modulation.

Abstract. Silicon tracking detectors operated at high luminosity collider experiments pose a challenge for current and future readout systems regarding bandwidth, radiation, space and power constraints. With the latest developments in wireless communications, wireless readout systems might be an attractive alternative to commonly used wired optical and copper based readout architectures.The WADAPT group (Wireless Allowing Data and Power Transmission) has been formed to study the feasibility of wireless data transmission for future tracking detectors. These proceedings cover current developments focused on communication in the 60 GHz band. This frequency band offers a high bandwidth, a small form factor and an already mature technology. Motivation for wireless data transmission for high energy physics application and the developments towards a demonstrator prototype are summarized. Feasibility studies concerning the construction and operation of a wireless transceiver system have been performed. Data transmission tests with a transceiver prototype operating at even higher frequencies in the 240 GHz band are described. Data transmission at rates up to 10 Gb/s have been obtained successfully using binary phase shift keying. a

Abstract-Flexible antennas provide the opportunity to place them on bent or moving surfaces. For leaky-wave antennas the mechanical flexibility offers a second possibility to modify the beam direction besides the frequency scanning property. This paper presents a leaky-wave antenna with a tapered metalized grating on flexible high density polyethylene in the frequency range from 140 GHz to 175 GHz. The high efficiency antenna was investigated with numerical calculations and a full wave simulation. The fabricated antenna has a scanning range of 20• and the measured gain is between 16.5 dBi and 17.5 dBi. A bend in the antenna structure affects its properties and increases the sidelobe level and the angular width.
