초록

본 논문에서는 130 nm 공정을 이용한 Ku-band에서의 송수신 칩을 사용하여 제작된 단일 안테나 모듈을 제안한다. 레이다 수신부에서 DCOC 피드백을 사용한 STC(sensitivity time control)가 거리에 따라 일정한 SNR을 유지한다. 또한 수신부 RF단에서 gain control을 통하여 수신단의 dynamic range를 조절할 수 있다. 칩의 출력 파워는 9 dBm이고, 수신부의 총 이득은 82 dB이다. 단일 안테나에서 Tx 신호가 Rx로 직접 누설되는 것을 막기 위해 stub-tuned hybrid coupler를 사용하였다. 최대 측정거리는 6 m이고, 혼안테나와 금속판을 사용하여 측정하였다.

This paper presents a single antenna radar sensor with a Ku-band radar transceiver IC realized by 130 nm CMOS processes. In this radar receiver, sensitivity time control using a DC offset cancellation feedback loop is employed to achieve a constant SNR, irrespective of distance. In addition, the receiver RF block has gain control to adjust high dynamic range. The RF output power is 9 dBm and the full chain gain of the Rx is 82 dB. To reduce the direct-coupled Tx signal to the Rx in a single antenna radar, a stub-tuned hybrid coupler is adopted instead of a bulky circulator. The maximum measured distance between the horn antenna and a metal plate target is 6 m.
