A Broadband and Compact GaN Millimeter-Wave MMIC SPDT Switch Using Modified π-Networks

A Broadband and Compact GaN Millimeter-Wave MMIC SPDT Switch Using Modified π-Networks 150 150

Abstract:

This letter presents a design methodology for broadband and compact millimeter-wave (mm-wave) single-pole double-throw (SPDT) switches targeting the Ku–Ka band. Conventional SPDT switches based on quarter-wavelength transmission line typically occupy significant chip area, while alternative designs utilizing standard $\pi $ -type equivalent circuits often suffer from bandwidth degradation due to …

A 0.32-pJ/b 100-Gb/s PAM-4 TIA in 28-nm CMOS

A 0.32-pJ/b 100-Gb/s PAM-4 TIA in 28-nm CMOS 150 150

Abstract:

This letter presents a 0.32 pJ/bit 100-Gb/s PAM-4 CMOS transimpedance amplifier (TIA). Several techniques are proposed to alleviate TIA design tradeoffs while pushing energy efficiency to a limit. A multipeaking input network is designed to relieve the bandwidth (BW) degradation from parasitics of input interface and ESD diodes. An …
