2 Outline mm-wave wireless backhaul for mobile networks Dotseven technology Low-noise amplifiers Power amplifiers Conclusions 2
3 Millimeter-Wave Wireless Backhaul 3G/4G mobile networks need more backhaul capacity fiber not always an option Sivers IMA provides radio-frontend products for mm-wave radio-link backhaul since 2008 Unlicensed V-band (60 GHz) for short distances E-band (71-76 GHz/81-86 GHz) for medium range 3
4 The mm-wave Transceiver Antenna Diplexer LNA RX I/Q LO xn GHz PA Up- / Down-converter LO xn GHz TX I/Q Full-duplex FDD (separate TX, RX, external diplexer) telecom grade Switch from III-V MMICs to custom integrated Si/SiGe ICs LNA and PA critical blocks: RX NF < 8 db, TX PSAT > 20 dbm 4
5 The mm-wave Transceiver Present Solution TX IF Waveguide TX module TX compression GHz LO Psat = 20 dbm at Waveguide port SiGe Upconverter GaAs PA TX RX Dotseven goals: Replace GaAs PA Improve SiGe LNA SiGe RX Gain / NF Performance LNA Gain > 20 db SiGe RX Chip NF 6.5 db Measurements results refer to performance at the RX chip input bond pad 5

8 mm-wave LNA design Common-Emitter HBT Simplified Noise Model f max and NF B Vbn Rb C ZS ZL ZS Ibn Icn ZL NF minimized by improving ft and minimizing Rb (and Re) of the device. Better signal-to-shot-noise ratio at the collector node with higher ft Lower Rb minimizes Vbn, and lets us reduce Zs Re(Zs) = Ropt, best compromise between noise from Vbn and Ibn. E Problem: Re(Zopt) Re(Zin), noise match yields poor return loss! 8
9 mm-wave LNA design Simultaneous Noise and Impedance Matching 1. Select current density for best NF Lb 2. Scale device for Re(Zopt) = 50 Ohm Zs Zopt Zin Ldeg 3. Increase Re(Zin) to 50 Ohm by degeneration using Ldeg 4. Cancel out Imag (Zin) by Lb Method described in detail by Voinigescu et al (IEEE JSSC, 1997) Parasitic inductance in base and emitter leads absorbed by Lb/Ldeg. Negative feedback difficult to apply when operating close to ft/fmax 9
