Design of a W-band Stepped-frequency Synthesizer with Fast Frequency Switching

In this paper, a W-band coherent stepped-frequency synthesizer is proposed, which provides transmitter and local oscillator signals to a high range resolution radar system. This synthesizer is realized by combining the technique of direct digital synthesizer, phase lock loop, up-conversion and multiplier chain, etc. In order to shorten the lock time of the phase lock loop, a new method is introduced in the design of this synthesizer. Measurement results show that the transmitting signal is around 94 GHz, the bandwidth is 504 MHz, the phase noise is about −90 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset, and the spurious signals are less than −55 dBc. Especially, the frequency switching time of this synthesizer is about 1 μs. With the W-band stepped-frequency synthesizer, the range resolution of the high range resolution radar system is better than 0.6 m.     

Millimeter-Wave Ultra-Wideband Bandpass Filter Employing Dual-Mode Ring Resonators Fed by Step-Impedance Coupled Lines

This paper presents a novel millimeter-wave ultra-wideband (UWB) bandpass filter (BPF) based on microstrip dual-mode rectangular ring resonators. In order to get strong coupling between the input/output line and the dual-mode ring resonators, a step-impedance parallel-coupled structure is adopted for the design of the filter. On the other hand, transmission zeros are produced by the dual-mode resonator. As a consequence, the filter has low insertion-loss in its passband, sharp attenuation in its lower and upper stopbands and very wide stopbands. As an example, a filter with two dual-mode ring resonators is designed and fabricated. The measured frequency property of the fabricated filter shows good agreement with the simulated response.

Accurate measurement of millimeter-wave attenuation from 75 GHz to 110 GHz using a dual-channel heterodyne receiver

A dual-channel millimeter-wave attenuation measurement system from 75 GHz to 110 GHz using a heterodyne receiver is described. The millimeter-wave attenuation is derived from the voltage ratio at 5.02 kHz using an inductive voltage divider as a reference standard. The measurement uncertainties are estimated to be 0.015–0.030 dB for attenuation ranging from 0 dB to 70 dB at 110 GHz. Measurement results of a waveguide rotary vane attenuator with 0–70 dB attenuation steps at 110 GHz are presented.
