A 2-32 GHz InAlAs/InGaAs-InP HBT CPW distributed amplifier (DA) has been demonstrated which benchmarks the highest bandwidth reported for an HBT DA. The DA combines a 100 GHz f/sub max/ and 60 GHz f/sub T/ HBT technology with a cascode coplanar waveguide DA topology to achieve this record bandwidth. The cascode CPW DA demonstrates both design techniques and technology capability which can be applied to more complex circuit functions such as active baluns for mixers, active combiners/dividers, and low dc power-broadband amplification at millimeter-wave frequencies.<>

This paper is concerned with the design and performance of a CPW upconverter MMIC for K-band wireless system applications. The upconverter consists of an FET as a "3-port" mixing element, IF, LO, and RF matching networks, and an output filter. Including a 3 dB pass-band insertion loss of the filter, the upconverter exhibits a maximum conversion gain of -6 dB with a port-to-port isolation better than 20 dB.<>

We report capacitive-division traveling-wave amplifiers having measured midband gains of 8 dB with a 1-98 GHz 3-dB-bandwidth, and 11 dB gain with a 1-96 GHz bandwidth. The capacitive-division topology raises the input Q of each cell, giving the amplifier increased bandwidth over conventional designs with the same active device technology; using 0.15-/spl mu/m gate length InGaAs/InAlAs HEMTs, bandwidths exceeding 150 GHz are feasible.<>

A highly integrated design for advanced monolithic single side-band frequency translators are presented in this paper. Two monolithic chips have been realised which exhibit between 18-45 dB of upper side-band rejection over C, X, and Ku-band. The chips are designed for small band-to-band frequency translations (such as uplink to downlink) in satellite communications transponders. Since the chips exhibit a wide-band response, image-rejection is also obtained for both chips.<>

A family of GaAs HEMT MMICs have been developed for use in Direct Broadcast Satellite TV (DBS) US, Japanese, and European markets. These designs are very compact, high performance, and self-biased. They are meant as building blocks for low noise block (LNB) downconverters. Described in this paper are the receiver chip, low noise amplifier, and self-biased single HEMT device (should a MIC LNA be preferred). The key design is the receiver chip with a nominal gain of 38 dB and NF of less than 3 dB for the US band. This paper presents a description of each design, a performance summary, as well as information describing their actual use in an LNB design.<>

The technique employed uses the gate-line 'termination' of a distributed amplifier topology as a non-inverting output. Closed-form expressions for the two output signals have been derived. The MMIC prototype has achieved balun operation over 0.5 to 20 GHz with a 10/spl deg/ maximum phase error.<>
