After a brief discussion of the recent development of SiGe HBT technology; the state-of-the-art achievement of the technology in circuits implementation is reviewed from an applied perspective; focusing on microwave and mm-wave applications. In particular; the performance of SiGe HBT-based oscillator and receiver front-end Ics are presented and relevant industry issues are addressed.
