It utilizes the charging/discharging characteristics of the circuit resonator and can be applied to any other microwave resonators. The approach compresses the duration of the pulse envelope without changing the phase characteristics of the RF carrier. The achievable power efficiency has proven to be sub-optimal which is 1dB lower than the lossless case. A test bed with a microstrip coupled line resonator and a Schottky diode has been fabricated and tested. The experiment demonstrates a 4 to 1 compression ratio.

The fabricated 31-turn toroidal inductor on high-resistivity silicon substrate shows inductance value of 25.4 nH and peak quality factor of 14.2. Because of the arc deployment of inductor turns, it is found that a sufficiently narrow turn-to-turn gap is essential to achieve high inductance value. In addition, it is found that, even for toroidal inductors, the substrate effects are the dominant loss mechanism at high frequencies and should be suppressed in order to obtain high values of the quality factor.","PeriodicalId":13133,"journal":{"name":"IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium Digest, 2005.","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88007846","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We present the performance improvements within the development of a duplexer for US-PCS-CDMA applications with a footprint of 3.8mm × 3.8mm and a height of 1.1mm. The duplexer consists of a transmit (TX) and a receive (RX) filter, which are flip-chipped as bare dies on a low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) multilayer substrate incorporating additional matching elements. The filters are realized using solidly mounted resonator (SMR) technology, where an acoustic mirror separates the active resonator from the substrate. Duplexer packaging is based on the EPCOS’ proprietary CSSP technology, originally developed to further shrink the size of SAW devices. This technology includes a cavity between the package and the acoustically active filter areas and therefore keeps the surface of the active device protected from environmental influences. The front-end technology for realizing the RF filters uses standard 200 mm CMOS technology and the deposition of AlN piezoelectric thin films with high thickness uniformity over the wafer. The duplexer is fully matched to 50 Ohm with low insertion attenuation in the pass band, a superior stop band characteristic up to 10 GHz, and a temperature coefficient of frequency (TCF) of −20 ppm/K.","PeriodicalId":13133,"journal":{"name":"IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium Digest, 2005.","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86563699","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
