چکیده
* D Abstract --Lossless broad-band microwave active inductors for generalpurpose use in microwave circuits are proposed and their characteristics are discussed. These active inductors are composed of a common-source cascode FET and a feedback FET, and operate in a wide frequency range with very low series resistance. A maximum Q factor of 65 is obtained. Theoretically, it can reach infinity. Furthermore, the inductance value can be controlled by an external voltage control. :_1

Quasi-Optical Transmit/Receive Front Ends - Microwave Theory and Techniques, IEEE Transactions on
Quasi-optical (QO) active circuits have originally received interest for power generation by large-scale power combining of solid-state devices at microwave and millimeter-wave frequencies. Here, we present an overview of QO components developed with functionality in mind, with an emphasis on bidirectional amplifier arrays for transmit/receive (T/R) front ends. We discuss possible advantages of...
متن کاملNovel MMIC Source-Impedance Tuners for On-Wafer Microwave Noise-Parameter Measurements - Microwave Theory and Techniques, IEEE Transactions on
Novel monolithic-microwave integrated-circuit source-impedance tuners for use in on-wafer noise-parameter measurement systems are reported, which can be incorporated into a wafer probe tip. These eliminate the effect of cable and probe losses on the magnitude of a reflection coefficient that can be presented to the input of an on-wafer test device, thus enabling higher magnitudes to be synthesi...
متن کاملAn Analysis of Multi-Layer Inductors for Miniaturizing of GaAs MMIC
Newly developed multi-layer inductors on GaAs threedimensional MMICs are presented. We analyzed single-, double-, triple-, and quadruple-layer stacked-type inductors in what may be the first report on inductors on a GaAs MMIC with three or more layers. The performance of singleand multi-layer inductors was measured and calculated by electromagnetic field simulation. The multi-layer inductors pr...
متن کاملDesign and Verification of On-Chip Impedance-Matching Circuit Using Transmission-Line Theory for 2.4 GHz-Band Wireless Receiver Front-End
Recently, spiral inductors have widely been used instead of resistors in the design of matching circuits to enhance the thermal noise performance of a wireless transceiver. However, such elements usually have low quality factor (Q) and may encounter the self-resonance in microwave-frequency band which permits its use in higher frequencies, and on the other hand, they occupy the large on-chip sp...

We report traveling-wave amplifiers having 1–112 GHz bandwidth with 7 dB gain, and 1–157 GHz bandwidth with 5 dB gain. A third amplifier exhibited 5 dB gain and a 180GHz high-frequency cutoff. The amplifiers were fabricated in a 0.1m gate length InGaAs/InAlAs HEMT MIMIC technology. The use of gate-line capacitive-division, cascode gain cells and low-loss elevated coplanar waveguide lines have y...
