Analog integrated circuits for 0.5 to 2.0 GHz applications
Abstract
A silicon integrated circuit technology, originally developed at TRW for high speed digital applications, has recently been used to produce several analog integrated circuits whose performance establishes a new state-of-the-art. These new circuits include an AGC amplifier, a broadband VCO, and a four quadrant multiplier, all of which operate to at least 500 MHz. Further, these circuits have been combined to implement a 500 MHz Costas loop demodulator with performance equal to that of the best discrete component versions at about one-tenth the size.
