Multi-bias measured and simulated S parameters are presented to validate the extension of an accurate on/off state HEMT switch small-signal modelling procedure to analog attenuator applications. Good agreements between measured and simulated multi-bias S parameters of the HEMT with a gate resistor are achieved by using only a common-gate real test-structure (without the gate resistor), which not only confirm the validity of the modelling for both digital and analog attenuator applications, but also validate the applicability of the capacitance network and extraction methods under more bias conditions.
提出了多偏置测量和模拟的S参数,以验证精确开/关状态HEMT开关小信号建模程序在模拟衰减器应用中的扩展。仅使用一个共栅极实际测试结构(没有栅极电阻),就实现了带栅极电阻的HEMT的多偏置S参数的测量值与模拟值之间的良好一致性,这不仅证实了模型在数字和模拟衰减器应用中的有效性,而且验证了电容网络和提取方法在更多偏置条件下的适用性。

Effective Resistivity Extraction of Low-Loss Silicon Substrate at Millimeter-Wave Frequencies 毫米波下低损耗硅衬底的有效电阻率提取

The effective resistivity $(rho_{eff})$ is a Figure of merit commonly used to compare the RF performance of a substrate from the measurements of CPW lines. For highly resistive substrates, such as the trap-rich substrate, the extracted $rho_{eff}$ decreases by several orders of magnitude at millimeter-wave frequencies. The explanation for this decay is twofold. First, the original expression of $rho_{eff}$ does not include dielectric losses. Second, the imaginary part of the characteristic impedance $(mathfrak{J}(Z_{c}))$ is not well extracted, which leads to an incorrect separation of the total losses among the metal and substrate losses. This paper solves both issues by presenting a new procedure to extract $rho_{eff}$ and the dielectric losses simultaneously and by introducing a novel method to correct $mathfrak{J}(Z_{c})$. Finally, it is shown that this extraction method enables the correct extraction of substrate parameters up to 220 GHz.
有效电阻率$(rho_{eff})$是一种通常用于比较基片射频性能的优值,来自CPW线的测量结果。对于高阻衬底,如富含陷阱的衬底,在毫米波频率下提取的$rho_{eff}$降低了几个数量级。对这种衰减的解释有两个方面。首先,$rho_{eff}$的原始表达式不包括介电损耗。其次,特征阻抗$(mathfrak{J}(Z_{c}))$的虚部没有很好地提取,这导致金属和衬底损耗之间的总损耗分离不正确。本文提出了一种同时提取$rho_{eff}$和介电损耗的新方法,并引入了一种校正$mathfrak{J}(Z_{c})$的新方法,解决了这两个问题。最后表明,该提取方法能够正确提取高达220 GHz的衬底参数。

GaN HEMT dispersive phenomena due to charge trapping can be effectively characterized by means of pulsed IV measurements. In this work, we exploit the wideband feature of the setup obtaining pulsed S-parameters measurements within narrow pulse widths, in the order of a few hundred ns. Then, we report the single and double-pulsed S-parameters characterization of the 100-nm GaN-on-Si HEMT technology by OMMIC, showing the impact of traps on the small-signal parameters and providing significant data for compact model identification.

A power limiter with high input power handling (24 dB over the input compression point) and sharp compression profile (less than 1.5 dB between the output 1-dB compression point and the output saturated power) in Ka-band (17.3 GHz; 20.2 GHz) is presented in this paper. Moreover, the circuit shows a low phase distortion (<3°) which make it suitable for use in an analog pre-processing linearizing system. This performances are obtained thanks to a novel architecture based on a power amplifier topology. This work presents the architecture along with the design methodology. Reliability is studied at high input power condition using the safe operation area from the technology provider. Then, a prototype is designed on 130 nm BiCMOS technology from STMicroelectronics, measured and compared to the simulation and the state of art.

In this work, traps induced drain-lag dispersion mechanism of GaN/AlGaN/GaN HEMT grown on SiC substrate is investigated through time domain drain lag measurement and TCAD-based physical device simulations. The transient variation of the drain current owing to applied drain turn-on voltage pulses have been examined. Furthermore, TCAD physical simulations have been performed by introducing traps in various regions of the device, in order to identify the physical location of traps causing drain-lag mechanism. The simulation results validate that acceptor-like traps existing in the GaN buffer are responsible for the drain-lag effect observed in measurement.

Unified Feedback Beamforming Digital Predistorter 统一反馈波束形成数字预失真器

A novel digital predistortion (DPD) architecture for amplitude- and phase- weighted beamforming (BF) transmitter is proposed. Based on the analysis of BF nonlinear radiation characteristics over-the-air, the proposed DPD with a simple unified feedback circuit can reduce nonlinear radiation in every direction. The performance of proposed DPD is evaluated through computer simulation assuming Chebyshev-weighed BF arrays. The results show that the proposed architecture can suppress nonlinear radiation to less than -45 dB in all direction, which is similar to the full DPD architecture that requires individual feedback circuit for each antenna element.

Physically-based statistical analysis of nonlinear circuits through X-parameters 基于物理的非线性电路的x参数统计分析

The active device X-parameters extracted from physics-based TCAD simulations are imported into the Keysight ADS environment following the techniques outlined in [1], leading to an efficient, yet physically sound, circuit-level nonlinear model, retaining a direct link with the device fabrication technology. In this work, the X parameter model is used to demonstrate that a fully statistical analysis of a nonlinear circuit as a function of technological spread of the active device can be efficiently carried out within ADS, with extremely reduced simulation time and excellent agreement with the original TCAD analysis. As a test case, we address the statistical analysis of a deep class AB amplifier as a function of the variations of both the active device doping and the circuit layout. The statistical distribution of the output power significantly depends on the power backoff and exhibits a marked skew, which cannot be fully addressed by standard sensitivity or linearized approaches. The effect of correlated or uncorrelated active device or layout variations is also investigated in a combined stage.
根据[1]中概述的技术,从基于物理的TCAD仿真中提取的有源器件x参数被导入到Keysight ADS环境中,从而产生高效且物理合理的电路级非线性模型,并保留与器件制造技术的直接联系。在这项工作中,X参数模型被用来证明非线性电路作为有源器件技术扩散函数的完全统计分析可以在ADS中有效地进行,极大地减少了仿真时间,并且与原始的TCAD分析非常吻合。作为一个测试案例,我们处理了深AB类放大器的统计分析,作为有源器件掺杂和电路布局变化的函数。输出功率的统计分布很大程度上取决于功率回退,并表现出明显的倾斜,这不能通过标准灵敏度或线性化方法完全解决。在组合阶段中还研究了相关或不相关有源器件或布局变化的影响。

This paper presents ultra-wideband fundamental VCOs in a automotive qualified production SiGe:C hetero bipolar technology with an fT of 240GHz and fmax of 380GHz. The architecture of the VCOs is a fully differential topology based on a merge of the classic Colpitts- and Clapp-topologies. The VCOs are designed for a continuous tuning range to cover one full millimeter-waveguide band. The goal of this particular work is to encompass the full E- and W-Band, respectively. The fabricated chips also integrate the high-frequency part of a divide-by-8 prescaler for stabilization in a PLL also covering the whole W-Band with up to 110 GHz efficiently. Both VCOs facilitate a peak output power of 7dBm in their respective band at the differential output. The phase noise at 1MHz offset is -99dBc/Hz for the E-Band and -93dBc/Hz for the W-Band VCO at center frequency. The continuous tuning range is 31 GHz (40.1%) in the E-Band and 35.4 GHz (38.6%) in the W-Band. The characteristics are only slightly degrading even at 100° C. Only 215mW of power is consumed by the chips from a single 3.3V supply.
本文介绍了一种用于汽车合格量产SiGe:C异质双极技术的超宽带基本压控振荡器,其fT为240GHz, fmax为380GHz。vco的体系结构是基于经典Colpitts-和clapp -拓扑的合并的完全差分拓扑。vco设计用于连续调谐范围,覆盖整个毫米波波导带。这项特殊工作的目标是分别涵盖整个E波段和w波段。制造的芯片还集成了一个除以8的预分频器的高频部分,用于锁相环的稳定,该锁相环也有效地覆盖了整个w波段,最高可达110 GHz。两个压控振荡器在差分输出时各自频段的峰值输出功率均为7dBm。在中心频率处,1MHz偏置时e频段的相位噪声为-99dBc/Hz, w频段的VCO为-93dBc/Hz。e频段连续调谐范围为31 GHz (40.1%), w频段连续调谐范围为35.4 GHz(38.6%)。即使在100°c的情况下,这些特性也只会略有下降。仅通过单个3.3V电源消耗215mW的功率。
