Design and Characterisation of Basic Components for 160 Gbit/s Data Rate in 0.13 µm SiGe:C Hetero Bipolar Technology

拟议项目的主题是开发关键部件，首次通过电子方式实现高达160 Gbit/s的数据速率。该项目基于国际水文计划的SG 13 G2技术，该技术最近发布供学术访问。在与集成电路设计密切相关的背景下，由于没有合适的商业测量设备，因此需要设计测试方法。在项目的第一阶段，将开发一个PLL，以及作为其关键部件的VCO和分频器。在此基础上，将在项目的最后一年开发一个用于产生160 Gbit/s数据流的多路复用器。

Subject of the proposed project is the development of key components, which enable data rates up to 160 Gbit/s by electronic means for the first time. The project is based on the SG13G2 technology of IHP, which was released for academic access recently. In close context with integrated circuit design, test methods are to be devised, because appropriate commercial measurement equipment is not available.In the first project phase, a PLL, and as its essential parts a VCO and frequencydivider, are to be developed.On this basis, a multiplexer for the generation of 160 Gbit/s data streams istargeted in the final project year.
