In this article, a fractional-N phase-locked loop (PLL) with integrated chirp generation circuit block for a 76~81 GHz frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) radar system is presented. Thanks to the switched inductor voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) topology, the linearity, phase noise, chirp bandwidth, and chirp rate of the FMCW synthesizer can be optimized for the short-range radar (SRR) and long-range radar (LRR) applications, with switch at ON/OFF states, respectively, according to different requirements and concerns. In this way, the proposed FMCW synthesizer shows improved phase noise for switch OFF-state, good for LRR applications, compared to the conventional single-varactor VCOs or cap-bank VCOs. The switch loss at ON-state is further decreased with the Q-boosting technique, which helps the FMCW synthesizer to simultaneously obtain a wide chirp bandwidth, steep modulation rates and good phase noise for SRR applications. The FMCW synthesizer is fabricated in 0.13 µm SiGe BiCMOS technology, occupies an area of 1.7 × 1.9 mm2, and consumes 330 mW from a 3.3 V voltage supply. Measured results show that the FMCW synthesizer can cover 25.3~27 GHz (with a frequency tripler to fully cover 76~81 GHz band), showing optimized phase noise, chirp bandwidth, linearity, and modulation rates performance. The measured K-band phase noise is −110.5 dBc/Hz for switch OFF-state, and −106 dBc/Hz for switch ON-state at 1 MHz offset. The normalized root mean square (RMS) frequency error is 518 kHz for chirp rate of ±14.6 MHz/μs and 1.44 MHz for chirp rate of ±39 MHz/μs for the 77 GHz band. Moreover, the integrated waveform generator offers fully programmability in chirp rate, duration and bandwidth, which supports multi-slope chirp generations. With a frequency tripler, the chip is well suited for the 76~81 GHz FMCW radar system.
