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

拟议项目的主题是关键部件的开发，这些部件首次能够通过电子手段实现高达160Gbit/S的数据速率。该项目基于国际水文计划最近发布的SG13G2技术，供学术使用。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，需要设计测试方法。在第一项目阶段，将开发锁相环及其关键部件压控振荡器和分频器。在此基础上，最终项目年将设计出用于产生160Gbit/S数据流的复用器。

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.
