This paper describes the analysis, design, and development of a high-speed A/D and D/A converter using phase-quantization sampling. A monolithic GaAs A/D and D/A converter has been demonstrated within a RF signal acquisition system. Performance data on the monolithic IC reveals that the 3-bit quantization system exhibits signal reconstruction with harmonic suppression exceeding -25 dB across an IF bandwidth of greater than 900 MHz.

This paper describes the design and performance of a three-bit monolithic phase shifter at V-band. The selected circuit approach was a reflection phase shifter with switched delay lines. Schottky diodes were used as the switching elements. Tested at 62.5 GHz, the RMS phase error was 2.7°, the insertion loss 10.8 +- 1.8 dB (including fixture loss), and the VSWR was better than 2.1:1. The maximum DC power requirement was 40 mW.

A monolithic W-band frequency doubler has been developed using submicron gate length GaAs MESFETs fabricated on ion implanted material. The frequency doubler provides a power output of over 4.0 mW at 94 GHz with an input drive of 70 mW at 47 GHz. To of a MESFET our knowledge this is the first report frequency doubler operating at W-band.

The electrical characteristics stability and reliability were investigated on newly developed high speed GaAs logic ICS. A resistor-loaded source-coupled FET logic (SCFL) was employed as a basic circuit architecture. The selectively epitaxial grown n/sup +/ - GaAs layers were aclopted for the contact regions of the WSi self-aligned gate FET. Maximum operating data rate of more than 2.6 Gb/s was achieved in these devices, guaranteeing sufficient supply voltage and phase margin. No failure has been observed in DC bias test for 3,000 hours and in RF operational test at 2 Gb/s for 7,000 hours.

GaAs power MMIC amplifiers with an optimized FET structure operating at K/sub a/-band have achieved a small-signal gain of 4.3 dB and an output power of 481 mw. These 1.7 x 0.9-mm MMICs include DC-blocking capacitors and bias networks. A cascaded four-stage amplifier has achieved a power gain of 18.9 dB and output power of 437 mw at 28 GHz. These results may represent the highest power/gain yet demonstrated from cascaded stages of MMICs with on-chip bias and DC blocking at K/sub a/-band.

Key monolithic circuits to Ka-band full MMIC receivers have been designed and fabricated. Conventional hybrid-oriented elements such as RF image-rejection filters, LO dielectric resonators and IF hybrid couplers have been eliminated for the full MMIC configuration. Prospects have been obtained for realization of very-small-size microwave communication receivers.

A broadband MBE GaAs PIN/NIP diode limiter has demonstrated 15 dB of isolation with a +32.5 dBm input signal while maintaining less than 0.25 dB of small-signal insertion loss from 0.05 GHz to 14 GHz. These results were obtained by incorporating vertical GaAs PIN/NIP diodes in a shunt-loaded microstrip configuration.

A novel broadband mixer topology, which can be implemented using either monolithic or discrete integrated circuit methods, has been developed using distributed design techniques. The MMIC mixer exhibits excellent 2-18 GHz conversion gain performance with signal handling capabilities and LO drive requirements similar to conventional diode double-balanced circuits.

A monolithic amplifier has been developed using a three-stage structure with feedback input/output stages and a reactively matched middle stage. The amplifier has exhibited greater than 12dB gain across 5-20 GHz bandwidth at a bias current of 40mA. The current to gain efficiency of 3.3mA/dB is the highest ever reported for a monolithic amplifier covering this bandwidth. The VSWR is less than 2.0:1 at input and less than 2.5:1 at output. The middle stage also provides a separate gain control with greater than 10dB dynamic range.
