摘要: A passive imaging receiver operating in the W-band around 90 GHz has been realized a digital 65-nm CMOS process. The circuit, occupying only 0.41 mm2, integrates an SPDT switch with 4.2 dB loss and 25 isolation, five-stage telescopic cascode LNA 27 gain at GHz, square-law detector, all consuming less than 33 mA from 1.2 V. version of without input peak responsivity over 200 kV/W minimum NEP 0.1 pW/ Hz. full Dicke radiometer, which includes switch, achieves 0.2 This work represents first to be implemented standard this level integration.
