The components will include low noise amplifiers, mixers, RF switches and IF amplifiers, etc. Finally, the components will be integrated with sub-projects 3, 4, 6 into a single chip MMIC transceiver. In the MMIC design portion, we will use the device model provided by the MMIC for the foundries initial design. In order to verify new design concept, some hybrid circuits will be built and tested during the design phase. Regarding the device modeling, both solid-state devices (diode and transistor) models and passive elements will be investigated. The device modeling effort includes device dc, RF characterization and model generation, while the passive element modeling will be exercised via theoretical analysis and then verified by experiments. Test structures for various models will be designed in parallel with the circuit design and placed on the same MMIC mask set such that the models can be verified and then updated for the next iteration. To achieve the goal of low power consumption, CMOS process will be chosen for the main process. Moreover, passive mixer will be considered to reduce the power consumption. In this 3-year project, device modeling, MMIC design, chip layout, fabrication and chip evaluation will all be exercised. For the first year, we will focus on individual single-function components based on existing models. A set of test structures will be designed. The initial design and layout should be completed and sent to foundry for fabrication. Some hybrid MIC experiment will also be conducted to verify device models and circuit design concept. In the second year, we will investigate the measured performance of first iteration chips refine the device models. The first-iteration chips will also be used for the initial RF module design of the main-project. The second iteration design and layout will be finished also. In the third year, besides refining models, higher level integration for a complete up- and down-converters will be attempted. The final chips will be used in the final RF module.單晶毫米波積體電路(MMIC)降頻器升頻器收發模組MMICReceiver ModuleLNAmixerswitch與IEEE802.11超高傳輸率標準相容之60GHz低耗電無線模組及電路技術-子計畫五:60 GHz 低耗電射頻接收電路之研製(3/3)
