  Abstract

Effects of the emitter degeneration on linearity have been investigated in SiGe HBT double-balanced up-converters with the Gilbert-cell structure. The emitter-coupled degeneration resistors have been optimized for high P1-㏈ and IP3 through the nonlinear harmonic-balance simulation. Two types of up-converter MMICs fabricated in 0.35 ㎛ Si-BiCMOS process were measured to verify the simulation results. The up-converter without the degeneration resistors produces a P1-㏈ of -13 ㏈m with an OIP3 of 3.7 ㏈m, while the up-converter with the degeneration resistors produces a P1-㏈ of -10 ㏈m with an OIP3 of 8.7 ㏈m.
