Millimeter-Wave Receiver Concepts for 77 GHz Automotive Radar in Silicon-Germanium Technology (SpringerBriefs in Electrical and Computer Engineering)

The book presents the analysis and design of integrated automotive radar receivers in Silicon-Germanium technology, for use in complex multi-channel radar transceiver front-ends in the 77GHz frequency band. The main emphasis of the work is the realization of high-linearity and low-power modular receiver channels as well as the investigation of millimeter-wave integrated test concepts for the receiver front-end.
