The goal of project A01 is to study and realize Silicon mm-wave integrated circuits required for the wireless links of the HAEC Box, capable of 100 Gbit/s over a carrier of 180 GHz, with particular focus on the minimization of the energy required per transferred bit. This will be studied for the receiver frontend and the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) modules with focus on the adaptivity and tunability of circuits and systems to deliver optimal efficiency also at lower data rates than the maximum. In the mm-wave frontend, circuit blocks will be developed to operate in fast-wake-up mode. The power consumption of the ADC will be automatically minimized controlling the sampling rate with a delay-locked loop.
