Monolithic Dual-Gate GaAs FET Digital Phase Shifter

The design, fabrication, and characterization of a fully monolithic FET digital phase-shifter circuit is described. The circuit is designed around a unique dual-gate FET structure operating as a switchable single-pole, double-throw amplifier. Each 2.5 X 3.0-mm chip has one bit (e.g., 22.5°, 90°, etc.) of phase control. The circuit, which includes all dc bypass circuitry on-chip, features thin-film lumped element capacitors and inductors, air-bridge crossovers and interconnects, via-hole frontside grounding, and integral beam leads. The fabrication of these elements is described in some detail. The phase-shifter circuit gives a peak gain of 3 dB across a 10-percent bandwidth in X-band. A method of achieving continuous phase and amplitude control using a 90° bit chip is described. Finally, phase performance of a four-bit digital phase shifter realized by cascading four monolithic active phase-shifter chips is reported.

A Low-Loss Ku-Band Monolithic Analog Phase Shifter

A GaAs monolithic Ku-band analog phase shifter integrating 90° branch line coupler with planar varactor diodes has been fabricated for the first time. A phase shift of 109° +- 3° with an insertion loss of 1.8+-0.3 dB was measured from 16 to 18 GHz. A 360° phase shifter with 4.2+-0.9 dB insertion loss was realized in the same frequency range by connecting three phase-shifter chips in series. To our knowledge, this is the lowest insertion loss obtained by a 360° Ku-band phase shifter using monolithic circuits. In addition, hyperabrupt varactors using nonuniform doping profiles increased the phase shift by more than 30° and produced a more linear dependence of phase shift on control voltage.

Cryogenic Operation of a Monolithic Slow-Wave Variable Phase Shifter (Short Paper)

A GaAs slow-wave variable phase shifter has been investigated at 4.2, 77, and 300 K ambient temperatures over the 2-18-GHz frequency range. Differential phase shift Delta Theta has been measured and presented as a set of curves parameterized in terms of temperature covering the entire frequency range. Analytical explanations are provided for the phase shift Theta and insertion loss L behavior as functions of temperature, frequency, and bias voltage. The Schottky microstrip line resistivity ratio at 77 K is found to vary between 4 and 6 over the frequency range studied, giving about a 5:1 reduction in resistivity (or a 2:1 reduction in L) by going to liquid nitrogen temperature.     

Ultra-High-Speed GaAs Monolithic Prescaler and Phase Frequency Comparator IC

A high-speed, low-power prescaler and phase frequency comparator (PFC) IC for a phase-lock stable oscillator was designed and fabricated on a single chip using GaAs MESFET BFL circuitry.

The fabricated 1/32 prescaler operated up to 8.0 GHz while the fabricated monolithic prescaler and PFC IC performed stable division, and phase and frequency comparison at input frequencies up to 4.8 GHz with a chip power dissipation of only 715 mW.     

A K- to Ka-Band Broadband Doubly Balanced Monolithic Ring Mixer

A broadband doubly balanced monolithic ring mixer with a new intermediate frequency (IF) signal extraction method implemented by 0.15 mum pHEMT process is presented. The hybrid couplers of the proposed mixer consist of multiple coupled lines and fourfold coupled line Marchand baluns. The use of multiple coupled lines leads to a die size less than 1 times 1 mm² and improves the bandwidth of the mixer. The novel fourfold coupled line allows the extraction of the IF signal directly without any extra low pass filter circuits. The mixer exhibited 8-13 dB conversion loss, high radio frequency/local oscillation isolation of 35-50 dB over 16-40 GHz and an input 1-dB compression point of 14 dBm.
