A Wideband SiGe BiCMOS Transceiver Chip-set for High-Performance Microwave Links in the 5.6-43.5 GHz Range
07 July 2017
In this paper we present a chip-set of 4 wideband SiGe BiCMOS transceivers optimized for the stringent specifications of various microwave links in the 5-44 GHz range. Each receiver and transmitter covers full frequency bands of 5.6-8.5 GHz, 10-15.5 GHz, 17.5-26.5 GHz and 27-43.5 GHz and demonstrates high dynamic range and excellent noise figure and linearity. Radio links demonstrate error-free operation for channel bandwidths from 7 up to 112 MHz and modulations up to 4096 QAM.
