A 150 to 220 GHz Balanced D 50 nm Metamorphic HE

چکیده
A coplanar millimeter wave doubler MMIC covering the entire G-band was developed. Based on a 50 nm metamorphic HEMT technology, the circuit demonstrates an output power of more than –12 dBm between 150and 220 GHz for an input power of 0 dBm. By increasing the input power to 12 dBm an output power exceeding 0 dBm was obtained in the frequency range between 180and 220 GHz. Good fundamental rejection was ensured by using a Marchand Balun for balancing the design. The doubler was also used to provide the LO signal for a 170 to 200 GHz resistive FET mixer, yielding a conversion loss of 10 dB.

We present 30-nm InAs pseudomorphic HEMTs (PHEMTs) on an InP substrate with record fT characteristics and well-balanced fT and fmax values. This result was obtained by improving short-channel effects through widening of the siderecess spacing (Lside) to 150 nm, as well as reducing parasitic source and drain resistances. To compensate for an increase in Rs and Rd due to Lside widening, we optimi...

This paper describes the design of an X-band balanced low noise amplifier (LNA) using an available HJFET device. The balanced LNA consists of a pair of electrically similar transistors whose input and output signals are divided or combined by 3 dB two-stage Wilkinson power dividers. The proposed balanced LNA is fabricated and measured. The measured results show that the noise figure is 1.30 dB ...

We present a map and an angular power spectrum of the anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) from the first flight of MAXIMA. MAXIMA is a balloon-borne experiment with an array of 16 bolometric photometers operated at 100 mK. MAXIMA observed a 124 deg region of the sky with 10 resolution at frequencies of 150, 240 and 410 GHz. The data were calibrated using in-flight measurements o...
