The paper proposes new fabrication process for an Impedance Standard Substrate (ISS) for on-wafer measurements at microwave and millimeter-wave frequencies. Screen printing technology has provided coplanar waveguides (CPW) lines with low transmission loss and high precision contact repeatability at millimeter-wave frequency up to 110 GHz. The paper demonstrate capability of the screen printed CPW as an ISS for on-wafer measurements. Standard lines with seven different lengths were designed and fabricated by screen printing technology. In the paper, Multiline ThruReflect-Line (TRL) calibration was performed by using ISSs fabricated by both screen printing and conventional pleated technologies. Regarding calibration capability validation, contact repeatability performance was first tested, then, verification devices were measured. According to comparison results, results obtained by calibration of screen printing ISS are almost the same as results measured based on conventional ISS tech.
本文提出了一种用于微波和毫米波频率片上测量的阻抗标准衬底(ISS)的新制造工艺。丝网印刷技术为共面波导(CPW)提供了低传输损耗和高精度接触重复性的毫米波频率高达110 GHz的线路。本文论证了丝网印刷CPW作为片上测量的ISS的能力。采用丝网印刷技术设计制作了7种不同长度的标准线条。本文采用丝网印刷和传统折叠技术制造的iss进行了多线通反射线(TRL)校准。在校准能力验证方面,首先测试了接触重复性性能,然后测量了验证装置。对比结果表明,通过对丝网印刷ISS进行标定得到的结果与传统ISS技术测量得到的结果基本一致。

This paper describes microwave characterization of coplanar waveguide (CPW) lines formed by ink-jet printed technology on flexible polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrates. The reel-to-reel printing process uses inkjet printing as a precursor for 2μm copper plating, which allows significantly lowered resistances as compared to traditional inks. A multiline TRL calibration technique has been used to characterize the propagation constant and reflection coefficient of the CPW lines. With the aid of four sets of measurements at two identical labs, it is shown that the fabricated samples have contact repeatability, permitting redundant multiline calibrations.

Metrological traceability is required for testing and spurious emission management. Even if above 110 GHz frequency, metrological traceability is universally important, however the system set-up and calibration method are as important as the metrology standards due to high cost and low stability / reproducibility for the measurement system and standards as compared to those in the microwave frequency range. In recent years, operation frequency of commercial vector network analyzers (VNA) reaches currently up to 1.6 THz. Key priorities for improvement of VNA measurement accuracy are waveguide interface performance, operation conditions, hardware set-up, calibration standards and methods. Then, measurement traceability and uncertainty, further verification process, including measurement comparison, are absolutely necessary for quality of measurements. The presentation introduces all key priority together with latest research achievements, then gives recommendation for accurate VNA measurement in Terahertz.
检测和杂散排放管理需要计量溯源。即使在110 GHz频率以上,计量可追溯性也是普遍重要的,然而,由于与微波频率范围内的测量系统和标准相比,测量系统和标准的高成本和低稳定性/可重复性,系统设置和校准方法与计量标准同样重要。近年来,商用矢量网络分析仪(VNA)的工作频率目前已达到1.6太赫兹。提高VNA测量精度的重点是波导接口性能、操作条件、硬件设置、校准标准和方法。然后,测量的可追溯性和不确定度,进一步的验证过程,包括测量比较,对于测量的质量是绝对必要的。介绍了所有关键优先事项和最新研究成果,并对精确测量太赫兹VNA提出了建议。

Towards faster, swept, time-coherent transient network analyzer measurements 朝着更快,扫描,时间相干的瞬态网络分析仪测量

Time- and phase-coherent swept network analyzer measurements are increasingly important for everything from harmonic waveform reconstruction needs in power amplifier analysis to transient pulse response problems in radar and phased array applications and generic memory effect analysis in device characterization. Classically, there have been several solutions to these problems but these have often been slow or have required sometimes complicated reference-generation schemes to enable phase recovery. By employing a wide-IF digitizer in a sampling receiver along with a somewhat novel triggering/marking scheme, it is possible to perform synchronous complex measurements during a frequency or power sweep at 10s of μs/point sweep rates. This configuration is demonstrated with a waveform reconstruction experiment and with sensitive swept transient DUT measurements delineating thermal response differences of more than 1.5 dB and 15 degrees on a fast sweep timescale.
从功率放大器分析中的谐波波形重建需求,到雷达和相控阵应用中的瞬态脉冲响应问题,以及器件表征中的通用记忆效应分析,时间和相参扫频网络分析仪的测量越来越重要。通常,这些问题有几种解决方案,但这些解决方案通常很慢,或者有时需要复杂的参考生成方案来实现相位恢复。通过在采样接收器中使用宽中频数字化仪以及一些新颖的触发/标记方案,可以在10 μs/点扫描速率的频率或功率扫描期间执行同步复杂测量。通过波形重建实验和灵敏的扫描瞬态DUT测量证明了这种配置,在快速扫描时间尺度上,热响应差异超过1.5 dB和15度。

This paper presents a powerful new method that generates a frequency-scalable nonlinear simulation model from single-frequency large-signal transistor X-parameter data. The method is based on a novel orthogonal identification (direct extraction) of current source and charge source contributions to the spectrally rich port currents under large-signal conditions. Explicit decomposition formulae, applied entirely in the frequency domain, are derived in terms of sensitivity functions at pairs of large-signal operating points related to one-another by time-reversal transformation. The method is applied and validated with respect to data from a measurement-based model of a pHEMT transistor. It is demonstrated that the scalable model can predict the nonlinear performance of the transistor over several orders of magnitude in frequency, all from X-parameters at a single fundamental frequency.

This paper presents a compact set-up to perform automated measurements of RF PAs under envelope-tracking (ET) operation. In addition to RF signal generation and acquisition, it allows calibrated measurements of the baseband voltage and current at the supply terminal with up to 40 MHz bandwidth, enabling instantaneous efficiency measurements. The presented set-up is used to extract two different shaping tables, and to test ET operation with a 5 MHz WCDMA and a 20 MHz LTE signals at 838 MHz. The used devices are an InGaP/Silicon RF power amplifier (PA) from Skyworks and a high voltage extra fast complementary bipolar (XFCB) power modulator (PM) from Analog Devices.

Hurdles to on-wafer harmonic measurements 圆片上谐波测量的障碍
Pub Date : 2015-12-01 DOI: 10.1109/ARFTG.2015.7381467
K. Muhonen
With the ever increasing need for spectrum the mobile phones, specifications are tougher for spurious emissions. Harmonics can fall into bands that are used for other services so prior evaluation of those harmonics is critical in product development. An on-wafer harmonic bench is used for fast evaluation of material and designs without having to build a final product to predict what the harmonic performance will be. Harmonic measurements are not new; but high power (4 watts), on-wafer harmonic measurements present hurdles that have not been solved. Low passive intermodulation (PIM) components, probe selection, connector selection and bench configuration all play into building a measurement system with low enough system noise to be able to evaluate the state-of-the-art technologies for mobile applications.
随着移动电话对频谱需求的不断增加,对杂散发射的规范也越来越严格。谐波可以分成用于其他服务的频段,因此对这些谐波的预先评估在产品开发中至关重要。圆片上谐波工作台用于快速评估材料和设计,而无需构建最终产品来预测谐波性能。谐波测量并不新鲜;但高功率(4瓦)的晶圆上谐波测量存在尚未解决的障碍。低无源互调(PIM)组件,探头选择,连接器选择和工作台配置都可以构建具有足够低系统噪声的测量系统,以便能够评估移动应用的最先进技术。

Joint self-heating and RF large signal characterization 联合自热和射频大信号表征

Self-heating affects the RF performance of power transistors and must therefore be characterized for accurate device modeling. This paper presents an active loadpull (ALP) testbed which performs continuous wave measurements with the LSNA for arbitrary loads and substrate temperatures while jointly measuring the device die temperatures with an infrared sensor. Measurements are performed for a 15 W GaN HEMTs for 15, 25, 35 and 45 C substrate temperatures. The thermal resistance is extracted from the dissipated power and temperature data for fundamental loads spanning the entire Smith Chart. The quasi linear relation between the dissipated power and the device temperature increase measured for all loads verifies that a physical temperature is measured. The expected correlation between the dissipated power, output power and device temperature is also evidenced. This ALP testbed provides thus a wealth of joint loadpull, thermal and loadline data which should facilitate the extraction of an electrothermal device model directly from large-signal RF measurements.
自热会影响功率晶体管的射频性能,因此必须对其进行表征以进行精确的器件建模。本文提出了一种主动负载拉(ALP)试验台,该试验台使用LSNA对任意负载和衬底温度进行连续波测量,同时与红外传感器联合测量器件的芯片温度。在15、25、35和45℃衬底温度下对15w GaN hemt进行测量。热阻是从整个史密斯图中基本负载的耗散功率和温度数据中提取的。对所有负载测量的器件温升与耗散功率之间的准线性关系验证了测量到的物理温度。耗散功率、输出功率和器件温度之间的预期相关性也得到了证明。因此,该ALP试验台提供了丰富的联合负载拉,热和负载线数据,这将有助于直接从大信号射频测量中提取电热装置模型。

This paper presents an active loadpull (ALP) testbed which performs continuous wave measurements with the LSNA for arbitrary loads and substrate temperatures while jointly measuring the device die temperatures with an infrared sensor. Measurements are performed for a 15 W GaN HEMTs for 15, 25, 35 and 45 C substrate temperatures. The thermal resistance is extracted from the dissipated power and temperature data for fundamental loads spanning the entire Smith Chart. The quasi linear relation between the dissipated power and the device temperature increase measured for all loads verifies that a physical temperature is measured. The expected correlation between the dissipated power, output power and device temperature is also evidenced. This ALP testbed provides thus a wealth of joint loadpull, thermal and loadline data which should facilitate the extraction of an electrothermal device model directly from large-signal RF measurements.","PeriodicalId":170825,"journal":{"name":"2015 86th ARFTG Microwave Measurement Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130718293","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
