Abstract
A transmitter IC for indoor presence and position detection based on radar is presented. The IC supports carrier frequencies between 45–67GHz, which includes the 60GHz ISM band. Wide RF bandwidth is achieved by applying low to moderate quality factor networks in the signal path. A bi-phase modulator multiplies the carrier with a pseudo-random data sequence of up to 4Gb/s for UWB signal generation. The 0.79mm 2 IC produces >8dBm saturated output power and >25dB small-signal gain for frequencies from 35–67GHz. At 60GHz, the saturated (differential) output power is 10.7dBm. The IC dissipates 462mW from a 3.5V supply voltage and is implemented in a 0.13µm SiGe BiCMOS IC process.
