Adaptive Virtual Waveform Design for Millimeter-Wave Joint Communication–Radar

Millimeter-Wave Circuit Design for Radar Transceivers

Polarizer design for millimeter-wave plasma diagnostics.

Radiation from magnetized plasmas is in general elliptically polarized. In order to convert the elliptical polarization to linear polarization, mirrors with grooved surfaces are currently employed in our collective Thomson scattering diagnostic at ASDEX Upgrade. If these mirrors can be substituted by birefringent windows, the microwave receivers can be designed to be more compact at lower cost....

High-power millimeter-wave rotary joint.

The rotary joint is a useful microwave component that connects a fixed part to a rotatable part. This study systematically analyzes the effect of the discontinuity on the interface of a rotary joint for several waveguide modes. Simulation results indicate that the transmission of the TE(01) mode is independent of the geometry of the joint, and thus is ideal for such application. A rotary joint ...

Gallium Phosphide IMPATT Sources for Millimeter-Wave Applications

The potentiality of millimter-wave (mm-wave) double-drift region (DDR) impact avalanche transit time (IMPATT) diodes based on a wide bandgap (WBG) semiconductor material, Gallium Phosphide (GaP) has been explored in this paper. A non-sinusoidal voltage excited (NSVE) large-signal simulation method has been used to study the DC and high frequency characteristics of DDR GaP IMPATTs dsigned to ope...

Physical design optimization of MOSFETs for millimeter wave and sub-millimeter wave circuits

Deep-scaled CMOS technologies have provided ultra-high speed devices and enabled the possibility to achieve integrated millimeter wave and sub-millimeter wave systemon-a-chip (SoC). However, the drawbacks and constraints of deep-scaled technologies require not only creative circuit design ideas but also accurate active device models and optimum physical design. The paper presents a systematic d...
