Three broad-band miniature monolithic transformer singly balanced diode mixers for operation in the microwave and millimeter-wave bands are reported in this paper. The coupled-line equivalent models are used to synthesize the initial design of these transformers up to 50 GHz. The first one is a broad-band spiral transformer mixer, and the second one is a 21-GHz Marchand-type transformer mixer. These two mixers with chip sizes around 0.29 mm/sup 2/ exhibit bandwidths of 105% and 54.5%, respectively. We also propose a 30-GHz single-coiled transformer mixer, which has comparable performance with the first two mixers and reduced chip size. The single-coiled transformer mixer achieves a bandwidth of 100% with the chip size smaller than 0.25mm/sup 2/. In order to save chip area, all these transformers provide broad-band matching to the diodes directly. To the authors' knowledge, these mixers achieve the widest bandwidths with the smallest chip sizes among all passive balanced mixers using monolithic-microwave integrated-circuit processes in dc-40-GHz frequency range. 相似文献

Monolithic, two-stage amplifiers using 0.5*80 mu m/sup 2/ gate GaAs/AlGaAs heterojunction FETs have been developed for Ka-band operation. These monolithic two-stage amplifiers were fabricated using ion implantation for the active layer and optical lithography for the 0.5 mu m gate length. MMIC two-stage amplifiers achieved average gains of 12.6+or-1.4 dB at 30 GHz and 8.8+or-2.0 dB at 40 GHz, respectively, for all 39 sites across a three inch diameter wafer. These are the first reported results for MMIC two-stage amplifiers using 0.5 mu m gate length ion-implanted GaAs/AlGaAs heterojunction FETs achieving over 10 dB gain at Ka band.<> 相似文献

A technique for generating accurate antiphase signals is presented in this paper. Monolithic oscillators at 20 and 40 GHz are realized using this technique. These oscillators have dual outputs that are mutually locked in antiphase. The inherent amplitude and phase balances between the output signals are verified. This is achieved by direct measurement using injection-locking polar diagrams, as well as low-frequency measurements of the down-converted oscillator outputs. The operation of the balanced oscillator as a multidevice power-combining oscillator is also investigated. Improvements of phase noise reduction and frequency stabilization are demonstrated at the combined oscillator output. This new oscillator topology shows significant potential in balanced circuits like mixers, multipliers, and modulators where circuit performance relies on the precise generation of the balanced signals 相似文献

A new type of planar microwave mixer diode was produced on GaAs by a self-aligned process, resulting in high precision and yield. Up to now only planar diodes made by the highly sophisticated process of double selective epitaxy met the requirements of mixer operation at X-band. The new design requires only one epitaxial layer. It takes advantage of the inherent doping profile of the epitaxial layer instead of using two different layers. Microwave measurements showed that parasitic elements in the equivalent circuit can be neglected. This is due to the monolithic integration of the diode into a microstrip line which makes packaging superfluous. A cutoff frequency of 220 GHz was achieved. 相似文献

The development of monolithic millimeter-wave Schottky diode mixers based on technological parameters is described. The complete equivalent circuit of the monolithic Schottky diode is calculated taking into account the semiconductor layer structure and the device geometry. This model has been used in a harmonic balanced software for designing monolithic single balanced mixers. In V -band a minimum DSB noise figure of 3.3 dB and a minimum conversion loss of 6 dB have been achieved. In W -band a minimum DSB noise figure of 4 dB and a minimum conversion loss of 7 dB have been obtained 相似文献

GaAs monolithic IC design and fabrication techniques suitable for baseband pulse amplification have been developed. The developed GaAs monolithic amplifier has a two-stage construction using two source-grounded FET's. To reduce input VSWR without serious noise-figure degradation, an inter-gate-drain negative feedback circuit was adopted. An interstage circuit is a dc-coupled circuit consisting of an appropriate impedance transmission line. Gate voltage for the second-stage FET is self-biased. The amplifier has 13.5-dB gain over the 3-dB bandwidth from below 500 kHz to 2.8 GHz. Less than 6-dB (7-dB) noise figure was obtained from 700 MHz to 2.2 GHz (150 MHz to 3 GHz). Input VSWR is less than 1.5 相似文献

The importance of high-performance,low-cost and millimeter-wave transmitters for digital communications and radar applications is increasing.The design and performance of a Ka-band balanced in-phase and quadrature-phase(I-Q)type vector modulator,using GaAs heterojunction bipolar transistors(HBTs)as switching elements,are presented.The balanced technique is used to remove the parasitics of the HBTs to result in near perfect constellations.Measurements of the monolithic microwave integrated circuit(MMIC)chip with a size of 1.89×2.26 mm~2 demonstrate an amplitude error below 1.5 dB and the phase error within 3°between 26 and 40 GHz except for a singular point at 35.6 GHz.The results show that the technique is suitable for millimeter-wave digital communications. 相似文献

GaAs monolithic integrated optical preamplifier 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
A GaAs monolithic integrated optical preamplifier has been developed based on the transimpedance principle. By associating the amplifier with an external p-i-n diode, a sensitivity of -38 dBm was measured at 140 Mbits/s and 10-9error rate with a signal wavelength of 1.3 μm. A TiWSiN-integrated technology was used to realize larger than 100-kω feedback resistors and gate leakage could be minimized by improving Schottky contact deposition and employing selective implantation. The optimization details of the FET and resistor elements, as well as the design techniques for integrated transimpedance amplifiers are presented. 相似文献

Impedance-matching circuits were integrated on the same chip as the IMPATT diodes to produce monolithic impatt diodes for millimetre-wave applications. A drastic reduction of device-to-circuit parasitic elements was achieved by placing the external circuitry very close to the device. Oscillators fabricated in this fashion gave the highest efficiencies reported so far in the 30?35 GHz range with 28% conversion efficiency using hybrid-Read structures. 相似文献

A GaAs/AlAs resonant-tunneling diode is designed for use as part of a subharmonic mixer, and its prototypes are fabricated
and characterized. Its current-voltage characteristics measured at room, liquid-nitrogen, or liquid-helium temperature provide
evidence for its adequate performance over the entire temperature range. Its impedance is measured against frequency up to
40 GHz, on which basis an appropriate equivalent circuit is selected for the device, and its components are quantified. The
operation of a subharmonic mixer incorporating the resonant-tunneling diode is simulated for a number of values of its quantum-well
width. At liquid-helium temperature, adjusting the quantum-well width is predicted to make the appropriate local-oscillator
power vary from 50 μW to 15 mW, while holding the conversion loss of a subharmonic mixer below 10 dB. 相似文献

A novel wafer bonding process has been used to integrate high quality GaAs devices on quartz substrates. The method of adhesion by spin-on-dielectric temperature enhanced reflow (MASTER) uses a spin-on-dielectric as a bonding agent to achieve a robust bond that in no way degrades either high frequency performance or reliability. A 585 GHz integrated mixer fabricated using this process has achieved record double-sideband mixer noise temperatures of 1,150 K at room temperature and 880 K at 77 K. Furthermore, the integrated mixers require no mechanical tuning, are easy to assemble, and repeatable. Precise control of the circuit geometry, coupled with the reduction of parasitic elements, allows greater accuracy of computer simulations and will therefore lead to better high frequency performance and bandwidth. This new technology is easily extended to other circuit designs and will allow the development of a new generation of submillimeter-wave integrated circuits 相似文献
