Engineering transceivers operating across the 130-175 GHz D-band with high output power and sub-4 dB noise figures.
Conventional silicon CMOS suffers severe gain drop-off above 100 GHz. ISACRF integrates 50 nm InP HEMT technologies delivering +18 dBm saturated output power (Psat) and a 3.8 dB noise figure at 140 GHz, ensuring radar echo sensitivity at 200 meters.
By transitioning on-chip coplanar waveguides directly to WR-6.8 rectangular waveguides via micromachined quartz probe antennas, insertion loss is clamped below 0.6 dB across the entire 30 GHz modulation bandwidth.
