  • Abstract
    A BiCMOS squarer using active attenuators which has been fabricated in a 10 μm BiCMOS process is presented. Experimental results show that the nonlinearity of the squarer can be kept below 2%, across the entire input voltage range of ±0.3 V. Its -3 dB bandwidth is measured to be ~1 MHz. Moreover, based on the proposed squarer circuits, a four-quadrant multiplier and a vector summation circuit have also been realised. The proposed circuits are expected to be useful in analogue signal processing applications
