Title
Synthesis of mm-Wave Wideband Receivers in 28-nm CMOS Technology for Automotive Radar Applications
Abstract
A new strategy for millimeter-wave (mm-Wave) circuit and system synthesis, where the accuracy of electromagnetic simulations can be achieved in optimization-based design methodologies without sacrificing efficiency, is presented and tested within a real industrial project. This is done by properly partitioning the system, generating libraries of passive devices which are electromagnetically simulated prior to any circuit optimization, generating performance tradeoffs at different hierarchical levels with multiobjective optimization algorithms and hierarchically composing lower level sub-blocks. With this proposed solution, an entire mm-Wave system, from the passive component level up to the system level, has been designed and compared with the results obtained from a conventional design approach, demonstrating the outstanding capabilities of the methodology.
