Today’s featured paper in our #June #issue 📗 presents "A 360 GHz Wideband CMOS Autodyne FMCW Radar: Theory and Implementation." 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲: A fully integrated wideband THz autodyne FMCW radar with a five-stage voltage-controlled ring oscillator and an on-chip folded slot antenna in a 55-nm BiCMOS process. 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗺: 360 GHz 𝗡𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹𝘁𝘆: ▪️To achieve a high bandwidth and a low in-band power variation simultaneously, a five-stage ring oscillator was chosen to generate a 5th harmonic at a lower fundamental frequency (fo) instead of a 3rd harmonic at a higher fo. Higher power gain at fo and higher harmonic power at the 5th harmonic is a result of the low MOS power gain at the higher fo for 3rd harmonic generation.  The  lower fundamental frequency tuning range required for 5th harmonic generation also results in lower in-band power variation.  ▪️This radar has the highest bandwidth with the smallest chip area of known VCO-based CMOS radars in the frequency range. 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲: ▪️6.2 dBm peak equivalent-isotropically radiated power (EIRP) with 5.8 dB in-band power variation using a hyper-hemispherical silicon lens; ▪️57 GHz bandwidth; 152 mW dc power consumption and 0.16 mm2 chip area. 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Short-range imaging applications such as dental imaging, for example. 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲: https://lnkd.in/dBd3pb3H #ieee #ieeetmtt #ieeemtt #mtt #tmtt #featuredpaper #microwaves #RF

📡 One simple RF truth: NF < 1 dB doesn’t make strong signals better — it makes weak signals usable. In the real world, networks don’t fail in perfect conditions. They fail at the edges — far from the tower, behind walls, in rural areas, or under interference. That’s why customers focused on: ✅ wider coverage ✅ more reliable connections ✅ fewer dropped links ✅ better performance in hard-to-reach areas choose sub-1 dB noise figure front-end devices, even at a premium. Low-noise solutions — like Guerrilla RF’s sub-1 dB NF LNAs (e.g., GRF4142) — help systems hear signals that others miss. Because better RF isn’t about making loud signals louder. It’s about making quiet signals count. #Wireless #Connectivity #NetworkReliability #5G #IoT #Defense #Satcom #RuralBroadband #GuerrillaRF

One week to go: Experience 10GBASE-AU optical automotive Ethernet live at OFC 2026. From March 17 to 19, KD will exhibit at OFC in Los Angeles, organized by Optica—and we’re bringing something special to Booth 5322. Together with Leopard Imaging Inc. and Corning Incorporated, our team with Luisma Torres, Diego Alejandro Rossi, and Robert V. will showcase the first 10GBASE-AU–enabled camera system with optical fiber connectivity for automotive, demonstrating how IEEE 802.3cz optical Ethernet moves from standard to real-world system implementation. This live demo highlights how optical connectivity enables: ▪ High-bandwidth sensor links ▪ EMI-robust communication ▪ Scalable architectures for ADAS and software-defined vehicles ▪ Future-ready in-vehicle networks In addition to the exhibit, don’t miss our technical session with Luisma Torres: Optical Automotive Ethernet: IEEE 802.3cz / Optical Communications Requirements for Automotive March 19 | 9:15 AM (PT) Room 403A | Th1A | S1: Datacom Subsystems and Systems From 2.5 G to 50GBASE-AU, IEEE 802.3cz defines the next generation of optical automotive Ethernet—built for performance, robustness, and real automotive environments. If you're advancing ADAS, architecting zonal platforms, or exploring high-speed optical networking for next-generation vehicles, we're happy to connect. Meet us at Booth 5322 in Los Angeles and see optical automotive Ethernet in action—not just on slides. 🔗 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/dKFWyh_H
