De Vroe, Jens (author)This work presents an analog front-end (AFE) signal processing chain for automotive FMCW LiDAR. The AFE consists of a high-gain transimpedance amplifier (TIA) followed by a gain-stage. The gain of the AFE is 103.2dBΩ at a bandwidth of 505MHz. Since the noise of FMCW-LiDAR systems is dominated by the shot noise of the local oscillator (LO), the...master thesis 2023
