We describe a 60-GHz coplanar MMIC low-noise amplifier (LNA) using 0.1 /spl mu/m-gate-length InP heterojunction FETs (HJFETs). An optimum gate width of 80 /spl mu/m was determined for the first stage FET by using a small signal model including accurate scaling of the gate resistance. On-wafer noise measurements demonstrated a noise figure of 2.2 dB and a gain of 22.8 dB at 60 GHz.

Two bandpass active filters using novel alternative design methods based upon combined and simultaneous amplification matching and filtering approaches have been successfully implemented. The originality of these two methods resides in their flexibility compared to the classical input and output matching lumped elements networks design method. With the first methodology based upon the combination of amplification/matching and of filtering approaches, a 5% measured relative bandwidth at 32.825 GHz has been achieved. The second approach, based upon the combination of two-step matching/filtering and of amplification is demonstrated with the design of a filter with 11% measured relative bandwidth at 14.04 GHz.

Sigma delta techniques have had a significant impact on the integration and performance of A/D and D/A technology. Likewise this technique is expected to have a significant effect on synthesizers as well. This paper describes a sigma delta single loop PLL synthesizer that demonstrates enhanced performance by using this technique. The device is called "Symphony" and is the first low cost and highly integrated sigma delta synthesizer.

We have developed a direct linear vector modulator MMIC for Ka band satellite communication. The modulator is of the parallel I/Q type and includes on-chip phase tuning for correcting the quadrature phase error. Using the tuning possibilities, excellent modulation results are obtained. This is illustrated for QPSK operation where quasi-perfect modulation is obtained in a 20% wide RF bandwidth, completely covering the FSS (Fixed-Satellite Service) Ka band downlink frequencies as allocated by the ITU.

A number of monolithic W-band power amplifiers (PAs) have been developed for local oscillators of the Far Infrared and Submillimeter Telescope (FIRST). These PA chips include three driver and three power amplifiers covering most of the W-band, i.e., the frequency ranges of 72-81, 90-101, and 100-113 GHz. Each driver amplifier and power amplifier provides at least 20 and 22 dBm (160 mW), respectively in the frequency range it covers. The 100-113 GHz power amplifier has a peak power of greater than 250 mW (25 dBm) at 105 GHz, which is the best output power performance for a monolithic amplifier above 100 GHz to date. These monolithic chips are fabricated using 0.1-/spl mu/m AlGaAs-InGaAs-GaAs pseudomorphic T-gate power HEMTs on a 2-mil GaAs substrate.

0.4-8 GHz broadband MMICs in the novel RF chip size package (RF-CSP) have been developed for the optical video distribution system. By using anisotropic conductive film (ACF) for the flip-chip bonding, fabrication process of RF-CSP becomes very simple and cost effective. This RF-CSP is one of the smallest packages ever reported.

A fully integrated, low phase noise, dual-band voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) utilizing a novel tuning scheme is reported. Coarse digital tuning is achieved using MOSFETs and fine analog tuning utilizes PN varactors. The measured phase noise is -95 dBc/Hz max at 3 GHz+25 kHz over the whole tuning bandwidth (/spl plusmn/12.5%), and the power dissipated is 22.5 mW. To our knowledge, these are the best results published so far.
