Abstract
A 115 GHz slow wave transmission line intended for phase detection based integrated biosensors is presented. The structure was fabricated in a 130 nm SiGe process. It achieved the targeted overall phase shift of 1° at 115 GHz. Moreover, the phase can be adjusted by 16 switches using Heterojunction Bipolar (HBT) transistors leading to a phase resolution of 0.125°. The change in input and output matching over all configurations of the switches is not higher than 0.8 dB and the transmission S 21 varies with less than 0.7 dB. To the authors knowledge, it is the first switchable slow wave structure using microstrip transmission lines along with a bipolar switch circuitry. Moreover, the presented structure provides a very powerful solution for real-time digital read-outs in integrated biosensors, without need of additional signal processing steps.
