The most promising photo detector for speed is the UTC-TW PD, which was proposed a few years ago. Operation of such devices was reported at frequencies exceeding 300 GHz. Output power and efficiency improve as the optical power is increased, however, when the optical power exceeds the saturation level, substantial reduction is observed in bandwidth. In this paper we present experimental results demonstrating the bandwidth degradation at high optical power, and offer an explanation to this phenomenon, which is backed up by theoretical simulations.","PeriodicalId":213749,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE/MTT-S International Microwave Symposium","volume":"2006 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127657809","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}

In this work, asymmetries in third order intermodulation distortion products (IM3) were measured for different tone-spacings and compared to simulations. An accurate large-signal model and careful modeling of the test circuit, especially the drain bias feeds is important for correct prediction of sideband asymmetries. Transient thermal measurements were employed to extract a thermal network with two time constants, one for the die and another one for the package. The IM3 asymmetries were found to be dominated by impedances in the output circuit for large tone-spacings; for very small tone-spacings (< 10 kHz), thermal effects have an important influence. The IM3 asymmetries agreed qualitatively well between simulations and measurements as a function of output power for different tone-spacings.","PeriodicalId":213749,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE/MTT-S International Microwave Symposium","volume":"198 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132911073","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}

The filter has a midband frequency of 25.5 GHz and a 3-dB bandwidth of 5 GHz (20%). Due to the multiple transmission zeros produced in both the lower and upper stopbands, the filter exhibits sharp attenuations near the passband and very wide stopbands.

However this approach still requires multiple measurements at different power levels to map the Smith Chart and determine the optimal load termination.
