A Silicon-Germanium Single Chip Receiver for S-band Phased Array Radars
conference paper
A Silicon-Germanium single chip receiver has been
developed for S-band phased array radars with 2-D digital
beamforming. The complete receiver chain from the S-band RF
input up to the low-IF output has been integrated on a single
SiGe chip. The only external components required to complete
the receiver are an RF limiter for protection against high input
power from the antenna element, high-IF bandpass filters and an
A/D-converter. This paper describes the design of the single chip
receiver and provides some experimental results obtained with
packaged chips on test boards.
