摘要：

We present an ultra-low-power SiGe BiCMOS receiver front-end for X-band phased-array radar systems. The receiver, which consists of two LNAs and a 3-bit phase shifter, consumes only 4 mW of de power while achieving over 10 dB of gain, less than 5 dB noise figure, and an OTOI of over 10 dBm. In addition, the RMS gain and phase errors were less than 0.5 dB and 2 degrees, respectively. This design demonstrates possible applications of SiGe ROT technology for use in ultra-low-power radar systems.
