The harsh automotive environment poses a series of challenging performance demands to integrated 77-GHz radar frontends. Besides a large temperature range of operation, sufficiently large output power of the transmitter and corresponding receiver sensitivity have to be guaranteed. The large dynamic range of the received signal additionally demands a highly linear behaviour of such receiver circuits. This presentation deals with the design of high-linearity integrated receiver frontends and its subcomponents for 77- GHz automotive radar applications based on high-performance SiGe technologies. These include low-noise amplifiers and down-conversion mixer circuits as well as fully integrated receiver frontends. The authors give insight to the design and measurement techniques of state-of-the-art highly linear 77-GHz radar building blocks. Different circuit architectures are investigated and the corresponding designs and performance parameters are presented.
