The design and measured results of a highly integrated FMCW radar transceiver are presented. The transceiver includes a transmitter with +7dBm output power and −82 dBc/Hz phase noise at 100 kHz, dual I/Q receivers with 10dB NF and 18 dB gain, PLL, 15-bit DAC, instrumentation amplifiers, LDO regulators, and a serial programming interface - all designed to operate from −40 to +125°C at 3.5V, 275 mA. Fabricated using Jazz Semiconductor's 0.18 µm SiGe BiCMOS process and packaged in a 32-pin 5 mm × 5 mm QFN, this RFIC has the highest level of integration at 24 GHz known to the authors.
