Novel Wide Bandwidth GAAS Sampling MMIC using Microstrip Based Nonlinear Transmission Line (NLTL) and NLTL Shock Wave Generator Design

Abstract: This paper reports a novel MMIC sampler based on NLTL technology which has been designed using the Philips ED02AH process. The sampling MMIC can be used to measure waveforms in the (3-+34) GHz bandwidth. A tapered microstrip based NLTL pulse generator has been combined with a diode-resistor bridge to minimize on GaAs real estate compared to CPW methodology. The advantage of the designed sampling MMIC is wide bandwidth, compressed size and consequently lower cost. The sampling MMIC finds application in sampling… Show more

“…Conventional methods for generation of such ultrathin pulses include step recovery diode (SRD), nonlinear transmission line (NLTL), and RC circuit employing very small time constants [19,20]. As compared to these traditional methods, which are capable of incorporating delays in the range of ns, the proposed buffered delay circuit proves to be more efficient [21]. SRD trigger pulse generators are economical but typically require several volts of input drive level and have a considerably high level of random jitter which leads to undesirable variations under PVT fluctuations [22].…”

“…In other methods of generating high frequency microwave pulses, step recovery diode (SRD) or nonlinear transmission line (NLTL) are utilized. NLTL based microwave pulse generators can produce pulses of 17 ns width and 3V amplitude [15]. These pulse generators are inexpensive but they require several volts of input drive.…”
