title = "Single-ended/differential 2.5-GS/s double switching Track-and-hold amplifier with 26GHz bandwidth in SiGe BiCMOS technology",
abstract = "Distorsion and attenuation occuring during track and hold transition are challenging for Track-and-hold amplifier (THA) with bandwidth larger than 10GHz. Moreover, single-ended to differential conversion is mainly required for radar applications. A single-ended/differential wideband THA circuit with a specific clock delay line buffer is proposed. The demonstrated technique is robust and results in a low distortion and low attenuation sampling operation for an input power of -5dBm over the entire bandwidth. The validity of the concept has been demonstrated by a circuit realized in 130nm SiGe BiCMOS. Furthermore, the proposed compensated balun allows to achieve a low phase difference (±4.5 o) and gain variation (0.25dB) in the [1-26]GHz frequency band. An effective bandwidth of 26GHz was measured with a Total-Harmonic-Distorsion (THD) of -51dB@10 GHz and -39dB@20 GHz at a sampling rate of 2.5 GS/s.",
