Millimeter-Wave Ultra-Wideband Linear Front-End Integrated Circuit (MULFI)

Abstract

This research project aimed to advance the state-of-art design of CMOS transceivers to address emerging applications in digital beamforming, as highlighted from our vision figure of Fig.1.1. The overarching goal has been to maximize the linearity and bandwidth of a CMOS receiver and to maximize the linear output power of a wideband transmitter. The aim of the project is to provide a common module realized in low cost CMOS technology that can be placed behind ahigh performance front-end module designed for a specific band or application, as shown in Fig.1.2. As such, the common module should be as flexible as possible, accommodating different LNA gain requirements and PA output power, modulation schemes, and other transmitter specifications.
