Abstract

Herein, based on a rounded rectangle p-i-n diode with the minimum radius allowed by the process and a 0.8- $\boldsymbol {\mu }\mathbf {m}$ thick I-layer, a high-power wideband monolithic limiter was realized by using GaAs p-i-n process. At 16 GHz, the maximum handling power of the monolithic limiter is up to 400 W (56 dBm), while the output power is less than 45 mW (16.5 dBm). Meantime, the insertion loss of the limiter is less than 0.55 dB and the return loss is better than −15 dB in the frequency range of 10–18 GHz, which has little effect on the signal of the receiver. It demonstrates that the limiter has a significant potential in high-frequency and high-power phased-array radars and communication systems.

基于GaAs p-i-n技术的高功率10–18GHz单片限幅器

本文以工艺允许的最小半径圆角矩形p-i-n二极管和0.8- $\boldsymbol {\mu}\mathbf {m}$厚的i层为基础，采用GaAs p-i-n工艺实现了大功率宽带单片限幅器。在16 GHz时，单片限幅器的最大处理功率可达400 W (56 dBm)，而输出功率小于45 mW (16.5 dBm)。同时，在10-18 GHz频率范围内，限幅器的插入损耗小于0.55 dB，回波损耗优于- 15 dB，对接收机信号影响较小。结果表明，该限幅器在高频大功率相控阵雷达和通信系统中具有很大的应用潜力。

期刊介绍： The IEEE Microwave and Wireless Components Letters (MWCL) publishes four-page papers (3 pages of text + up to 1 page of references) that focus on microwave theory, techniques and applications as they relate to components, devices, circuits, biological effects, and systems involving the generation, modulation, demodulation, control, transmission, and detection of microwave signals. This includes scientific, technical, medical and industrial activities. Microwave theory and techniques relates to electromagnetic waves in the frequency range of a few MHz and a THz; other spectral regions and wave types are included within the scope of the MWCL whenever basic microwave theory and techniques can yield useful results. Generally, this occurs in the theory of wave propagation in structures with dimensions comparable to a wavelength, and in the related techniques for analysis and design.
