The department "Mixed Signal Circuit Design" (MSC) at the Technische Universität Berlin, headed by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Friedel Gerfers, develops circuits and systems for wired and wireless high-speed communication as well as automotive applications with its research groups "Wireline Communication Systems" and "Wireless Communication Systems". Current projects include complete transceivers as well as transceiver components - with data converters as the core competence.Wired projects include transceivers with data rates of up to 224 Gbit/s (112 GBaud PAM4) and components such as VCSELs and optical modulators with symbol rates of up to 150 GBaud to advance the development of current and future transmission technologies in data centers (400 and 800 Gigabit Ethernet). Wireless frequency ranges up to the D-band (with up to 170 GHz) are used for communication systems to be developed with data rates of more than 100 Gbit/s, in particular for the next mobile phone generation "6G". In order to have the characterization capabilities needed for this research, this proposal requests a W- and D-band spectral measurement setup (“W- und D-Band Spektralmessplatz (75-170 GHz)”) and, in a parallel proposal, a 100 GHz real-time measurement setup (“100 GHz Echtzeitmessplatz”).The main components of the W- and D-band spectral measurement setup (75-170 GHz) consist of frequency modulators for the W- and D-band. These modulators, together with the also requested accessories and with an existing S-parameter measurement setup („S-Parametermessplatz“), enable measurements in the corresponding frequency ranges. The existing S-parameter measurement setup consists in particular of a vector network analyzer as well as a mm-wave wafer prober and was funded by a previous major research instrumentation proposal in 2019. However, at that time there was neither the project need nor the funding possibility for the extension to W- and D-band. The current need for the extension to W- and D-band, as well as the applications of the existing S-parameter measurement setup that took place so far are presented in this proposal.The W- and D-band spectral measurement setup (75-170 GHz) is needed in the mentioned current research e.g. to measure matching, gain, bandwidth, transmission behavior as well as compression and intermodulation behavior of amplifiers (e.g. LNA, PA, TWA, TIA). In addition, components such as VCSELs, VCSEL drivers, DACs, AFEs and transmission channels are characterized in terms of matching and bandwidth - also to optimize modeling for the development of corresponding components and entire associated systems. Depending on the application and research project, these components and overall systems operate in frequencies up to 120 GHz (incl. W-band) or 110 to 170 GHz (D-band), which is why the corresponding frequency modulators with accessories are needed and requested in this proposal as W- and D-band spectral measurement setup (75-170 GHz).

柏林技术大学的“混合信号电路设计”（MSC），由博士博士领导。 Friedel Gerfers，开发用于有线和无线高速通信的电路和系统，以及其研究组“ Wireline Communication Systems”和“无线通信系统”的汽车应用。当前的项目包括完整的收发器和收发器组件 - 将数据转换为核心能力。有线项目包括发射器，数据速率高达224 gbit/s（112 Gbaud PAM4）（112 GBAUD PAM4），以及诸如VCSELS和光学调制器等组件，具有最高150 GBAUD符号的符号，以推动当前和未来的传输技术的开发（400 000和800）。无线频率范围为D波段（最高170 GHz），用于开发通信系统，数据速率超过100 GBIT/s，尤其是下一个移动电话生成“ 6G”。为了具有这项研究所需的表征能力，该建议请求W-和D频段的光谱测量设置（“ w- und d band spektralmessplatz（75-170 GHz））”），并在平行的建议中，是100 GHz实时测量设置（“ 100 GHz ECHTZEPPLATZEPPLATZEPPLATZ”）。设置（75-170 GHz）由W-和D波段的频率调节器组成。这些调节器以及还要求的附件以及现有的S-参数测量设置（“ S-ParameTermessplatz”），可在相应的频率范围内进行测量。现有的S参数测量设置特别包括矢量网络分析仪和MM-Wave Wave Prober，并由先前的主要研究仪器提案资助。但是，当时该项目既不需要该项目，也不需要扩展到W-和D-band的资金。本提案中提出了当前对W-和D波段扩展的需求，以及迄今为止发生的现有S参数测量设置的应用。在当前的研究中，需要W-和D波段测量设置（75-170 GHz），例如测量匹配，增益，带宽，传输行为以及放大器的压缩和交流行为（例如LNA，PA，TWA，TIA）。此外，诸如VCSEL，VCSEL驱动程序，DAC，AFES和传输通道之类的组件在匹配和带宽方面都具有特征 - 还可以优化建模，以开发相应的组件和整个相关系统。根据应用和研究项目，这些组件和整体系统的运行频率高达120 GHz（包括W频段）或110至170 GHz（D频段），这就是为什么需要使用附件的相应频率调制器并在此提案中要求使用，并在此提案中要求W-和D频段频谱测量设置（75-170 GHz）。
