An ultra broadband MMIC amplifier is designed using InP double-heterojunction bipolar transistors and its on-chip measurements are reported. The multi-cell distributed amplifier uses four gain cells where each consists of a common collector input stage followed by a cascode gain stage. The chip includes bias, decoupling and terminating circuits for the dc and RF interconnects; it measures 0.72 mm by 0.4 mm. It consumes 210 mW of power and can deliver up to 5.5 dBm of output power at 195 GHz. The amplifier achieves an average gain of 13.5 dB with an overall bandwidth over 200 GHz and a ± 2 dB gain ripple. The measurements indicate that this is the widest band dc-coupled amplifier reported to date and has the highest bandwidth reported among non-cascaded distributed amplifiers.
采用InP双异质结双极晶体管设计了一种超宽带MMIC放大器,并对其进行了片上测量。多单元分布式放大器使用四个增益单元,其中每个增益单元由一个公共集电极输入级和一个级联增益级组成。该芯片包括用于直流和射频互连的偏置、去耦和终端电路;它的尺寸为0.72毫米乘0.4毫米。它消耗210兆瓦的功率,在195 GHz时可以提供高达5.5 dBm的输出功率。该放大器的平均增益为13.5 dB,总带宽超过200 GHz,增益纹波为±2 dB。测量结果表明,这是迄今为止报道的带宽最宽的直流耦合放大器,并且在非级联分布式放大器中具有最高的带宽。

Power amplifier efficiency ceilings due to signal modulation type 功率放大器的效率上限取决于信号调制类型

Energy efficiency in communications of all types is of growing importance to society. All efficiency loss is due to power dissipation in the electronic circuitry used to implement the communication standard. Selection of the modulation adopted by a standards working group has a dominant role in how much of the energy efficiency available from electronic technologies and circuit structures can be made visible to the communications application. Prediction of whether a particular modulation in consideration will either allow implementers to realize high values of energy efficiency — or will force implementers to use circuit techniques which place a low ceiling on the achievable energy efficiency — is an important step that must be performed during modulation selection deliberations. Prediction of this efficiency cap, if any, is readily achieved by the calculation proposed in this mostly tutorial paper. An initial comparison of presently used signal modulations is provided.
各类通信的能源效率对社会越来越重要。所有的效率损失都是由于用于实现通信标准的电子电路的功耗造成的。标准工作组所采用的调制方式的选择,在通信应用中可以看到多少电子技术和电路结构的能源效率方面起着主导作用。预测所考虑的特定调制是否允许实施者实现高能源效率值-或者将迫使实施者使用对可实现的能源效率设置低上限的电路技术-是调制选择审议期间必须执行的重要步骤。这个效率上限的预测,如果有的话,很容易通过这篇主要是教程的论文中提出的计算来实现。提供了目前使用的信号调制的初步比较。

This paper presents a broadband frequency doubler chip working in the WR-03 band (220–325 GHz). The chip is implemented in a 130-nm SiGe BiCMOS technology with an of 250/300 GHz. It consists of an integrated high-gain wideband amplifier to drive the frequency doubler. The doubler is based on a cascode push-push topology. Conversion loss of the doubler is reduced by utilizing an inductive feedback in the common-base stage. A very wideband operation of the doubler is achieved using optimally sized transistors and 4-reactance based input matching network. On-wafer measurement of the chip shows a state-of-the-art 17.4 dB peak conversion gain at 270 GHz. It delivers a maximum output power of almost 1 mW with a 3-dB bandwidth ranging from 257 GHz to 307 GHz, which is the highest bandwidth for Si-based frequency doublers working entirely in the WR-03 band. The chip consumes around 429 mW from a supply voltage of 3.3 V.

A D-band LNA is reported serving as a test vehicle of an under-development 40 nm GaAs HEMT technology developed by OMMIC foundry. The amplifier, designed on the basis of custom small-signal equivalent-circuit models, is featured by state-of-the-art performance, and in particular has a noise figure as low as 4 dB at 140 GHz and a gain higher than 20 dB approximately from 115 GHz to 160 GHz. The main steps of the non-standard design flow are also illustrated, hinged on two main ideas: a closed-form analysis of the input/output matching bounds of the active devices, on the one hand, and an efficient optimization approach to shift the reference planes of EM-simulated networks, on the other.

To enable beamsteering capabilities for millimeter-wave radar and communication systems, phase shifters are key components. In this paper a WR3-band (220–325 GHz) phase shifter MMIC is presented, which is based on reflective-type phase shifters and enhanced with an integrated variable gain amplifier for loss-compensation, RMS error optimization and antenna tapering. The circuit has an average loss of only 1.6 dB and a 3 dB bandwidth ranging from 218 to 268 GHz. In this frequency range the maximum phase shift is 247° with phase and amplitude RMS errors below 10.4° and 1.5 dB, respectively. The MMIC was processed in a 50 nm InGaAs metamorphic HEMT technology and has a chip size of only 0.75 × 0.75 mm2.

This paper demonstrates a wideband, subharmonic down converting mixer using a commercial 130-nm SiGe-BiCMOS technology. The mixer adopts a frequency doubling LO-stage, a differential switched-transconductance RF-stage, on-chip LO and RF baluns, and two emitter-follower buffer-stages. The measured results exhibit a maximum conversion gain up to 2.6 dB over the frequency range of 100 to 140 GHz with a LO power of 5 dBm. The mixer achieves an input referred 1-dB compression point of −7.2 dBm, with a DC power of 46.3 mW, including 26.7 mW for buffer-stages. It demonstrates also up to 12 GHz 3-dB IF bandwidth, which to the authors' best knowledge, is the highest obtained among active sub-harmonic mixers operating above 100 GHz. The chip occupies 0.4 mm2, including pads.

This paper presents an eight-phase low-phase-noise VCO using series coupling technique, which obtains less phase error compared to the parallel coupling. Furthermore, the bottom-series coupling is used to achieve better phase noise than the top-series coupling. To properly design the complementary cross-coupling pair, the impedance locus theory is adopted. The chip is implemented in 180 nm CMOS technonlogy and has a chip area of 1.88 mm2. Measured oscillation frequency is from 1.51 GHz to 1.99 GHz (27.4 %). Measured minimum phase noise is −129.23 dBc/Hz at 1MHz offset at 1.51GHz leading to a FOMt of −189.0. The measured worst phase deviation is less than ±3.6° and the core power dissipation is 18mW from a supply voltage of 1.8 V.
本文提出了一种采用串联耦合技术的八相低相位噪声压控振荡器,与并联耦合相比,其相位误差更小。此外,采用底串联耦合可以获得比顶串联耦合更好的相位噪声。为了合理设计互补交叉耦合副,采用了阻抗轨迹理论。该芯片采用180nm CMOS技术,芯片面积为1.88 mm2。测量振荡频率为1.51 GHz ~ 1.99 GHz(27.4%)。在1.51GHz的1MHz偏置下,测量到的最小相位噪声为−129.23 dBc/Hz,导致fof为−189.0。在供电电压为1.8 V时,测量到的最坏相位偏差小于±3.6°,铁芯功耗为18mW。

We present a new bonding process for gallium nitride (AlGaN/GaN) devices from Si onto diamond substrates. In our technology AlGaN/GaN-devices are transferred from silicon (Si) onto single (SCD) and polycrystalline diamond (PCD) substrates by van der Waals bonding. Load-pull measurements on Si and sCd at 3 GHz and 50 V drain bias show comparable power-added-efficiency (PAE) and output power (Pout) levels. Also, comparisons of 2×1 mm GaN-diodes on Si, PCD, and SCD reveal significantly increased power levels. In summary, we show a promising new GaN-on-diamond technology for future high-power, microwave GaN-device applications.
我们提出了一种将氮化镓(AlGaN/GaN)器件从Si焊到金刚石衬底的新工艺。在我们的技术中,AlGaN/ gan器件通过范德华键从硅(Si)转移到单(SCD)和多晶金刚石(PCD)衬底上。在3 GHz和50 V漏极偏压下对Si和sCd进行的负载-拉力测量显示出相当的功率附加效率(PAE)和输出功率(Pout)水平。此外,2×1毫米gan二极管在Si, PCD和SCD上的比较显示功率水平显着增加。总之,我们展示了一种有前途的金刚石上氮化镓新技术,用于未来的高功率微波氮化镓器件。
