Topic: High-Efficiency Silicon PAs for mmWave Radar Sensors

Abstract: 
In this talk, we will present the recently developed silicon-based high-efficiency PAs for mmWave radar sensors. We will start off by introducing applications and system level considerations for mmWave radar sensors with a goal of deriving the PA design targets. Rest of the talk will cover the design methodologies and techniques to enable high-efficiency PAs at mmWave radar frequencies. Specifically, we will discuss the recently proposed doubly-tuned transformer-based Class-E PA concept, which is better suited for mmWave operation than the traditional Class-E design. We will present measured results in BiCMOS and bulk CMOS at 77GHz and 60GHz bands to demonstrate the proposed concepts and techniques.

Bio: 
Tolga Dinc received the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from Columbia University, New York, NY in 2017. Since then, he has been with Texas Instruments, Dallas, TX as an RF/mmWave Engineer. Tolga is a four-time award winner at the IEEE RFIC Symposium (2022, 2021, 2019 and 2015) and a recipient or co-recipient of several other honors, including the IEEE Microwave Magazine Best Paper Award in 2021 and the Columbia University Eli Jury Award in 2017. He has authored or coauthored 45+ papers for various RF/mmWave applications and holds over 20 granted/pending patents. He has been a TPC member for the IEEE CICC (2019-2023) and IEEE RFIC Symposium (since 2023). He currently serves as an Associate Editor for the IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits.
