Coplanar High Performance MMICs in MHEMT and PHEMT Technology for Applications up to 100 GHz
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present coplanar MMICs based on both, metamorphic (MHEMT) and pseudomorphic (PHEMT) high electron mobility transistor technologies. Starting with a modulator-driver MMIC for optical transmission systems, we describe state of the art MMICs like a 94 GHz low-noise amplifier, a 35 GHz and a 60 GHz medium power amplifier and finally we demonstrate the feasibility of a monolithically integrated 94 GHz single-chip FMCW radar sensor.

The InAlAs/InGaAs metamorphic HEMT (mHEMT) two-stage Ka-band amplifier and DC-30 GHz distributed SPST switch were designed and fabricated using low-k benzocyclobutene (BCB) bridged technology. This fabrication technology takes the advantages of its low dielectric permittivity (2.7), low loss tangent (0.008), low curing temperature, low water up-take, and simple manufacturing process. The MMIC f...

A broadband low-loss, ultra-low-power consumption transmit/receive switch using high-performance 50 nm gate-length metamorphic high electron mobility transistors (MHEMTs) is presented. The single pole double throw (SPDT) monolithic switch utilises a drain contact electrode sharing concept using a two-finger MHEMT. An optimal gate width of the MHEMT was chosen for low-loss, high-isolation perfor...
