Abstract:
This work is about designing an integrated system to capture, partially process and digitalize data from a terahertz bolometric antenna array. Different techniques for achieving the required operation are presented, including a low noise amplifier with a custom lateral bipolar p-n-p structure as input stage and other strategies to reject noise, and integration of analogue signal processing into Analogue-to-Digital Converter (ADC). The results of the bipolar structure characterization are presented in great detail, demonstrating the feasibility of using them in an amplifier.
