摘要：

This paper documents an ultra-wideband (UWB) fully integrated beamformer which features controllable true time delay and power gain. The UWB beamformer accomplishes 4-bit delay variation with 4ps resolution, 5dB gain variation in 1dB steps, and a -3dB gain bandwidth of 11.2GHz. Overall operation is achieved by the integration of a three-bit tapped delay trombone-type structure with 4ps variable delay resolution, a one-bit 32ps fixed delay coplanar-type structure, and a variable gain distributed amplifier. The prototype chip fabricated in a 0.18 mu m BiCMOS SiGe process occupies 1.6mm(2) of silicon area and consumes 125mW from a 2.5V supply at the maximum gain setting of 14.2dB.
