On the Variations of Shunt Characterization Technique of Decoupling Transmission Line for Millimeter-Wave CMOS Applications

چکیده
Abstract Decoupling transmission line (TL) is a low characteristic impedance TL that is used for isolating DC and RF signals in millimeter-wave CMOS circuits. Low characteristic impedance makes the direct measurements difficult for characterization. A shunt characterization method is presented for the characterization. In this method, the S-parameters are calculated directly. Nevertheless, the results might change according to calculation procedure. In this work, variations on shunt characterization method are investigated and their effects on millimeter-wave CMOS amplifier simulation accuracy are introduced.

متن کاملDevelopment of Forward-wave Directional Couplers Loaded by Periodic Shunt Shorted Stubs
In this paper a new procedure for designing forward-wave directional couplers using periodic shunt short circuited stubs is proposed. A new type of cell using these stubs, which enlarge the phase difference between even- and odd modes of a uniform microstrip coupled line is introduced. Using the equivalent circuit model for even- and odd-modes of the proposed cell, the elements of the ABCD tra...
متن کاملEvaluation of a Multi-Line De-Embedding Technique up to 110 GHz for Millimeter-Wave CMOS Circuit Design
An L-2L through-line de-embedding method has been verified up to millimeter wave frequency. The parasitics of the pad can be modeled from the L-2L through-line. Measurement results of the transmission lines and transistors can be de-embedded by subtracting the parasitic matrix of the pad. Therefore, the de-embedding patterns, which is used for modeling active and passive devices, decrease great...

This article presents a phased array antenna employing MEMS phase shifter. The proposed phased array antenna consists of eight square patch antennas operating at 10.4 GHz with a bandwidth of 400 MHz. Feed line for each patch passes through a MEMS phase shifter realized by a series of bridges above the transmission line. The distance between the bridge and the transmission line underneath it is ...

A uniplanar leaky-wave antenna (LWA) suitable for operation at millimeter-wave frequencies is introduced. Both unidirectional and bidirectional versions of the antenna are presented. The proposed structure consists of a coplanar waveguide fed linear array of closely spaced capacitive transverse slots. This configuration results in a fast-wave structure in which the = 0 spatial harmonic radiates...
