چکیده
Broad-band microwave packaging of a travelingwave amplifier with an on-chip bandwidth of 2–50 GHz is described. Techniques to reduce overall insertion losses and to extend the low-frequency cutoff of the amplifier while maintaining gain-flatness are discussed. The packaged amplifier modules exhibit excellent performance from 100 kHz to 50 GHz. They are demonstrated as modulator drivers and receiver amplifiers in a 30-Gbit/s digital optical communication system.

Second Harmonic Reduction of Traveling Wave Tube Amplifier Using Ferrite Material
Traveling Wave Tubes (TWTs) consist of different elements. The most important element of TWT is the RF circuit. RF circuits in helix TWTs need a dielectric support to hold the helix; this support also has an effect in electromagnetic properties of RF circuits. A novel dielectric support is proposed to reduce the second harmonic of helix TWTs. The dielectric support in this structure consists of...

Using an electro-absorption duplexer (EAD) we presented a transceiver (TRx) module for dual function of both electrical-to-optical (E/O) and optical-to-electrical (E/O) conversion at 60 GHz band. The EAD chip was fabricated by monolithically integrating both a waveguide photodiode (PD) and an electro-absorption modulator (EAM) in association with traveling wave electrodes. We also investigated ...
