In this paper, a 620–690GHz sub-harmonic mixer using monolithic GaAs integrated schottky diodes is presented in order to remove the mismatch caused by manual assembly of the flip chip diode. The monolithic microwave integrated circuit integrates a Schottky anti-parallel diodes pair in a longitudinal configuration. We mostly analyzed the influence caused by diode position offset and conductive adhesive...
In this paper, we use suspended microstrip to design a 0.33 THz fequency tripler, in which a pair of Schottky varactor chips parallel is adopted. Considering the present processing technology, it's easy for the unbalanced structure to provide bias to the diodes without an on-chip capacitor, which is essential to the balanced tripler scheme. The tripler consists of a waveguide housing, a pair of quartz...
In this paper, a 420GHz GaAs monolithic integrated sub-harmonic mixer based on planar Schottky diode is presented. We combine the diode 3D model, nonlinear model and passive circuit by field-circuit method, then optimize the circuit through harmonic balanced method, finally study the GaAs monolithic integrated 420GHz sub-harmonic mixer. Simulated results for the mixer achieved DSB conversion loss...
The letter presents a fourth-harmonic mixer based on planar schottky diode working at 330–500GHz. The result of simulation predicts that conversion loses well below 14dB from 369GHz to 477GHz with 6 dBm of local oscillator power. Therefore, the good performance of mixers in wide bandwidth and low conversion loss provides designers with a better choice.
In this paper, a 340GHz GaAs monolithic integrated sub-harmonic mixer based on planar Schottky diode is presented. The mixer circuit is fabricated on a 12um GaAs substrate included planar Schottky diode in a balanced configuration, the passive RF/LO and IF matching networks, filtering circuits, as well as transitions from waveguide to suspended micro-strip. Simulated results for the 340 GHz mixer...
The paper presents the design and fabrication of a low-loss fixed-tuned 118 GHz subharmonically pumped mixer, using commercially available GaAs Schottky barrier diodes flip-chipped onto a suspended microstrip circuit. The simulation performance of the mixer exhibits a double side band (DSB) conversion loss below 10 dB over the range of 113-123-GHz, with 6 mW of local oscillator (LO) power. At 118...
This paper presents the design and simulation of a novel fixed-tuned 310-350-GHz wide-band sub-harmonic mixer. The mixer is based on an anti-parallel pair of GaAs Schottky diodes fabricated at European company. The circuits are fully integrated with the RF/IF filter and flip-chipped onto a suspended quartz-based substrate. A best double-sideband-mixer loss of 5.7 dB was achieved with 5 mW of LO power...
We report on the design, fabrication and testing of a 114GHz to 135GHz passive tripler. No mechanical tuners and the simple circuit topology make it easy and cheap to fabricate the tripler. The circuit design, simulation and optimization of the tripler are carried out by using HFSS and ADS. The tripler comprises waveguide housing, microstrip circuits and a pair of United Monolithic Semiconductors...
This paper proposes a W-band detector with high tangential signal sensitivity (TSS) and voltage sensitivity, which is intended to apply for 3 mm wave radiometer. The commercially available GaAs detector diode Agilent® HSCH-9161 is adopted to build an unamplified direct detector, along with antipodal finline transition, broad band microchip impedance matching network and low pass filter. Obtained TSS...
This paper presents the optimization and design of a low-loss fixed-tuned 215-235-GHz sub-harmonic mixer, pumped by planar GaAs Schottky diodes fabricated by European company for space-borne radiometers. The circuits are fully integrated with the RF/IF filter and flip-chipped onto a suspended quartz-based substrate. The GaAs Gunn oscillator is used as the local-oscillator (LO) and this paper also...
