2. 1. Mixers and Multifunctional MMICs for Millimeter-Wave Applications

   Author : Sten Gunnarsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; G-band; double-balanced Gilbert mixer; sub-harmonically pumped resistive mixer; pHEMT; receiver; image reject mixer; dual-quadrature mixer; balanced resistive mixer; resistive mixer; 220 GHz; high data rate; drain mixer; 53 GHz; single-chip; V-band.; radiometer; mixer; broadband wireless communication; multifunctional; MMIC; GaAs; mHEMT; transmitter; 60 GHz;

   Abstract : This thesis treats the design and characterization of different mixer and multifunctional monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs) in GaAs pHEMT and mHEMT technologies. The MMICs operate at the V (50 – 75 GHz) and G (140 – 220 GHz) bands and several of them demonstrate state-of-the-art performance, level of integration, novel topologies, and/or novel functionality.

5. 3. 60 GHz Mixer and Multifunctional MMICs in GaAs pHEMT and mHEMT technologies

   Author : Sten Gunnarsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Image reject mixer; Broadband wireless communication; Single-chip; Multifunctional; Mixer; Balanced resistive mixer; GaAs; Dual-quadrature mixer; 60 GHz; Receiver; pHEMT; MMIC; High data-rate; Double balanced Gilbert mixer; mHEMT; Transmitter; V-band;

   Abstract : In recent years, the 60 GHz band has gained increased academic and commercial interest mainly due to the relative large amount of license free and little used frequency spectrum located in vicinity of 60 GHz. The exact locations of these free frequency bands varies locally but the 5962 GHz band overlap around the world and is therefore a true world wide license free band. READ MORE

6. 4. Low Voltage CMOS Radio Receiver Front-End Design

   Author : Fred Tillman; Institutionen för elektro- och informationsteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Elektroteknik; Electrical engineering; Elektronik; Electronics; Elektronik och elektroteknik; Electronics and Electrical technology; Polyphase Filter; Quadrature Signals; Nonlinearity; Distortion; Passive Mixer; Mixer; Low Noise Amplifier; CMOS; Front-End; Low Voltage; Radio; Receiver;

   Abstract : The mass production of integrated circuits for digital electronics has made CMOS technology the most frequently used IC process today. Thanks to the large production volume, CMOS has increasingly become the most cost efficient technology of choice, and the fast development of small, high speed CMOS devices has made the technology feasible for many RF applications.
