An Integrated Power Amplifier Front-end Module with On-chip Antenna at 180–240 GHz

This work presents a practical power amplifier front-end module solution with on-chip antennas at 180–240 GHz. It includes three parts: the frequency multiplier followed by amplifier stages and on-chip antenna array. The input signal varies from 45 GHz to 60 GHz which can be fed through the bond-wire and transmission line on the PCB. All the circuits are implemented by 130-nm SiGe BiCMOS technology.
