A high linearity InGaP/GaAs heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) power amplifier is demonstrated using a new structure for a bias circuit for wideband-code division multiple access (W-CDMA) application. A one shunt capacitor is added to a novel active bias circuit and acts as a lineariser improving input P1 dB of 16 dB and phase distortion of 5.1° for the hybrid phase shift keying (HPSK) modulated signal at the 28 dBm output power; the lineariser showing no significant increase of signal loss and chip area. The two-stage HBT MMIC amplifier exhibits a power-added efficiency (PAE) of 37%, a linear power gain of 24.5 dB, and an output power of 28 dBm with an adjacent channel power ratio (ACPR) of -45 dBc, under a 3 V operation voltage 相似文献

A high linear output power two-stage GaAs heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) power amplifier MMIC is reported. The input, interstage and output matching circuits are designed for wideband and low-voltage operations, and are fully integrated into an MMIC chip. The power amplifier measured with 54 Mbits 64-QAM OFDM signals at a collector supply voltage of 3.3 V showed linear output power of higher than 23.2 dBm at an error vector magnitude of 3.0% in a frequency range 3.3-3.6 GHz 相似文献

A highly linear MMIC power amplifier for wideband code-division multiple-access (W-CDMA) portable terminals has been devised and implemented with a new integrated on-chip lineariser. The proposed lineariser, consisting of an InGaP/GaAs heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) active bias circuit partially coupled to RF input power together with a feedback capacitor, effectively improves gain compression with little insertion power loss and no additional die area. The optimised lineariser improves maximum output power (P1 dB) by 2 dB and adjacent channel leakage power ratio (ACLR) by 4 dB, and the implemented HBT MMIC power amplifier exhibits a P1 dB of 30 dBm, a power gain of 30 dB, a power added efficiency of 42% at the maximum output power under an operation voltage of 3.4 V, and an ACLR of -34 dBc at 27 dBm of output power. 相似文献

The authors describe an AlGaAs/GaAs heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) X-band down-converter monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) which integrates a double double-balanced Schottky mixer and five stages of HBT amplification to achieve greater than 30 dB conversion gain over an RF bandwidth from 5 to 10 GHz. In addition, an output IP3 as high as +15 dBm has been achieved. The Schottky diodes are constructed from the existing N$collector and N+ subcollector layers of the HBT molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) device structure. A novel HBT amplifier topology employing active feedback which provides wide bandwidth in a compact area is used for the RF, LO, and IF amplifier stages. The complete down-converter MMIC is realized in a 3.6×3.4 mm2 area, is self-biased through a 6 V supply, and consumes 530 mW. This MMIC represents the highest complexity X-band down-converter MMIC demonstrated using GaAs HBT-Schottky diode technology 相似文献

We report the design and fabrication of a compact microwave monolithic integrated circuit (MMIC) amplifier, which demonstrates high output power at X-Band. A single-stage power amplifier is demonstrated, with a double-mesa type SiGe/Si HBT as the active device and spiral inductors and MIM capacitors as lumped passive components. At 8.4 GHz, a linear gain of 8.7 dB, an output power at peak efficiency of 23 dBm, and a saturated output power Psat of 25 dBm, are measured. To our knowledge, this is the first MMIC X-Band power amplifier using SiGe/Si HBTs 相似文献

In this paper, we report on the development of W-band monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) power amplifiers using 0.1-μm AlInAs/GaInAs/InP high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) technology and finite-ground coplanar waveguide (FGCPW) designs. In the device modeling, the Angelov nonlinear HEMT model was employed to predict the large signal performance of the device, and the results were validated by using state-of-the-art vector load-pull measurements. A two-stage single-ended W-band FGCPW MMIC using a 150-μm-wide HEMT as the driver and a 250-μm-wide HEMT for the output stage was designed, fabricated, and tested. The MMIC amplifier demonstrates a maximum output power of 18.6 dBm with 18.2% power-added efficiency and 10.6 dB associated gain at 94 GHz. This result is the best output power to date reported from an InP-based MMIC using FGCPW design at this frequency 相似文献

A 25-GHz monolithic voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) has been designed and fabricated in a commercial InGaP/GaAs heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) process. This balanced VCO has a novel topology using a feedback /spl pi/-network and a common-emitter transistor configuration. Ultra-low phase noise is achieved: -106 dBc/Hz and -130 dBc/Hz at 100kHz and 1-MHz offset frequency, respectively. To the authors' knowledge, this is the lowest phase noise achieved in a monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) VCO at such high frequency. The single-ended output power is -1 dBm. It can be tuned between 25.33GHz and 25.75GHz using the base-collector junction capacitor of the HBT as a varactor. The dc power consumption is 90mW for a 9-V supply. An excellent figure-of-merit of -195 dBc/Hz is obtained. 相似文献

This paper reports on what is believed to be the highest IP3/Pdc power linearity figure of merit achieved from a monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) amplifier at millimeter-wave frequencies. The 44 GHz amplifier is based on an InP heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) technology with fT's and fmax's of 70 and 200 GHz, respectively. The 44-GHz amplifier design consists of four prematched 1×l0μm2 four-finger (40-μm2) heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) cells combined in parallel using a compact λ/8 four-way microstrip combiner. Over a 44-50-GHz frequency band, the amplifier obtains a gain of 5.5-6 dB and a peak gain of 6.8-7.6 dB under optimum gain bias. At a low bias current of 48 mA and a total dc power of 120 mW, the amplifier obtains a peak IP3 of 34 dBm, which corresponds to an IP3/Pdc power ratio of 21:1, a factor of two better than previous state-of-the-art MMIC's reported in this frequency range. By employing a thin, lightly doped HBT collector epitaxy design tailored for lower voltage and higher IP3, a record IP3/Pdc, power ratio of 42.4:1 was also obtained and is believed to be the highest reported for an MMIC amplifier of any technology. The new high-linearity HBT's have strong implications for millimeter-wave receiver as well as low-voltage wireless applications 相似文献

A monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) chip set consisting of a power amplifier, a driver amplifier, and a frequency doubler has been developed for automotive radar systems at 77 GHz. The chip set was fabricated using a 0.15 µm gate‐length InGaAs/InAlAs/GaAs metamorphic high electron mobility transistor (mHEMT) process based on a 4‐inch substrate. The power amplifier demonstrated a measured small signal gain of over 20 dB from 76 to 77 GHz with 15.5 dBm output power. The chip size is 2 mm × 2 mm. The driver amplifier exhibited a gain of 23 dB over a 76 to 77 GHz band with an output power of 13 dBm. The chip size is 2.1 mm × 2 mm. The frequency doubler achieved an output power of –6 dBm at 76.5 GHz with a conversion gain of ?16 dB for an input power of 10 dBm and a 38.25 GHz input frequency. The chip size is 1.2 mm × 1.2 mm. This MMIC chip set is suitable for the 77 GHz automotive radar systems and related applications in a W‐band. 相似文献

A low-power highly linear CMOS RF amplifier circuit composed of a Multiple-Gated common-source FET TRansistor (MGTR) in cascode configuration is reported. In an MGTR amplifier, linearity is improved by using transconductance linearization which can be achieved by canceling the negative peak value of g/sub m/" of the main transistor with the positive one in the auxiliary transistor having a different size and gate drive combined in parallel. This enhancement, however, is limited by the distortion originated from the combined influence of g/sub m/' and harmonic feedback, which can greatly be reduced by the cascoding MGTR output. IP3 improvement as large as 10 dB has been obtained from an experimental RF amplifier designed at 900 MHz and fabricated using 0.35 /spl mu/m BiCMOS technology using only CMOS at a similar power consumption and gain as those obtainable from conventional cascode single gate transistor amplifiers. 相似文献
