However, by now only a few circuits have been investigated that operate in this frequency domain. In this thesis design concepts for mixers based on Silicon- Germanium at millimeter-wave frequencies are thoroughly investigated. This study includes the analysis and design of a direct conversion mixer with high linearity at 77 GHz. Additionally, the feasibility of high level integration at 77 GHz using Silicon-Germanium is shown. After investigating different building blocks, an integrated receiver frontend for millimeter-wave applications is designed, manufactured and measured. This circuit is among the first that shows the potential of high level integeration in Silicon-Germanium in this frequency regime.
