Low-Loss Millimeter-Wave SPDT Switch MMICs in a Metamorphic HEMT Technology

Abstract: This letter presents the design and performance of two single-pole double-throw (SPDT) switches operating in V -band (50-75 GHz) and W -band (75-110 GHz). The millimeterwave (mmW) integrated circuits (MMICs) are fabricated in a 50-nm gate-length metamorphic high-electron-mobility transistor technology. Special attention was paid to the reduction of the insertion loss (IL). Thus, both switch MMICs achieve an IL of 1-1.6 dB (average 1.2 dB), covering the entire V -band and W -band, respectively. The isolation (I… Show more

“…This construction also allows to optimize performance of the transistors by changing indium concentration in the channel [39]. There are multiple examples of the InGaAs mHEMT based switches for mm-wave frequency range [40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47]. Most of them are based on typical λ/4 shunt topology (fig.…”

“…Various methods are developed to give amplification in the output side of photo-detector which is attained with the use of LNA. The three stages LNA have ability towards deliver better optimal power transmission as of the received side signal generated in photo-detector related on load impedance in frequency range [15]. The LNA design with narrowband should allow for a best tradeoff among increasing of gain level and decreasing noise level in received side it works under larger frequency also.…”

“…[19][20][21][22] The TL-based switch is well adapted to high-frequency bands with low IL and reasonable isolation, while it occupies a large chip area at mm-wave frequency. 23,24 Compared with other types of SPDT switches, transformer-based T/R has a great advantage in high isolation with compact chip size for the mm-wave band. [25][26][27][28] The isolation of the transformer-based switch is limited because of the contradiction with the IL performance.…”
