Abstract:This thesis focuses on integrated circuits operating at millimeter-wave frequencies in CMOS technologies. More explicitly, the dissertation concentrates on the design and characterization of mm-wave monolithic active and passive components, the low-noise amplifier (LNA), the amplifier beyond cut-off frequency, the resistive mixer, the Gilbert-cell mixer, the sub-harmonic mixer, and the receiver front-end for earth remote sensing applications. The applications for these circuits vary from E-band high-speed communication to atmospheric remote sensing at 183 GHz and also for 300 GHz spectroscopy. This dissertation presents research contributions in the form of nine scientific publications and an overview of the research topic, which also summarizes the principal results of the work.
