A 135GHz SiGe transmitter with a dielectric rod antenna-in-package for high EIRP/channel arrays

摘要

In this paper, a 135 GHz antenna-in-package (AiP) transmitter with high equivalent isotropic radiated power (EIRP) is presented. The radiating element is realized by a dielectric rod antenna fed by a planar Yagi-like electric dipole. A SiGe transmitter composed of an active balun, 8× frequency multiplier and a power amplifier is mounted on the AiP. The operating frequency of the system is 125–140 GHz. The measured EIRP at 135 GHz is 15.6 dBm and the DC power consumption is 366 mW.
