Design of Broadband, Highly and 35-45 GHz MMIC

چکیده
The design of broadband, highly integrated up-converters is described. Two up-converters have been designed to reduce the complexity and cost of broadband millimetre wave systems by integrating a number of functions into a compact MMIC. Broadband performance was achieved for 20-30 GHz and 35-45 GHz with OIP3 exceeding 24 and 15 dBm, respectively; 2xLO leakage better than 3 dBm and excellent gain control. To our knowledge, this is the highest level of integration achieved for an upconverter at these frequencies.

متن کاملA Low-Noise, High-Gain Quasi-Millimeter-Wave Receiver MMIC with a Very High Degree of Integration Using 3D-MMIC Technology
We present a highly integrated quasi-millimeter-wave receiver MMIC that integrates 22 circuits in a 3 × 2.3 mm area using threedimensional MMIC (3D-MMIC) technology. The MMIC achieves low noise (3 dB) and high gain (41 dB) at 26 GHz by using an on-chip image reject filter. It integrates a multiply-by-eight (X8) local oscillator (LO) chain with the IF frequency of the 2.4 GHz band and can use lo...

A broadband low-loss, ultra-low-power consumption transmit/receive switch using high-performance 50 nm gate-length metamorphic high electron mobility transistors (MHEMTs) is presented. The single pole double throw (SPDT) monolithic switch utilises a drain contact electrode sharing concept using a two-finger MHEMT. An optimal gate width of the MHEMT was chosen for low-loss, high-isolation perfor...
