  • Abstract
    This paper presents a high-speed 4 bits full-flash Analog-to-Digital Converter for an UWB radar applications, implemented in 190 GHz SiGe BiCMOS technology. The ADC occupies 1.5 × 1.5 mm2, including bondpads. Converter has 6 GHz input bandwidth and operates up to 15 GSample/s. Power dissipation is 1 W including test buffers and 600 mW for a core part itself.
