Full of tips and insights from seasoned industry veterans, Microwave Circuit Design offers practical, proven advice on improving the design quality of microwave passive and active circuits-while cutting costs and time. Covering all levels of microwave circuit design from the elementary to the very advanced, the book systematically presents computer-aided methods for linear and nonlinear designs used in the design and manufacture of microwave amplifiers, oscillators, and mixers. Using the newest CAD tools, the book shows how to design transistor and diode circuits, and also details CAD's usefulness in microwave integrated circuit (MIC) and monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) technology. Applications of nonlinear SPICE programs, now available for microwave CAD, are described. State-of-the-art coverage includes microwave transistors (HEMTs, MODFETs, MESFETs, HBTs, and more), high-power amplifier design, oscillator design including feedback topologies, phase noise and examples, and more.

Book Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit MMIC Low Noise Amplifier LNA Design for Radio Astronomy Applications

Download or read book Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit MMIC Low Noise Amplifier LNA Design for Radio Astronomy Applications written by Alireza Seyfollahi and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The presentation highlights research on theory, design, EM modeling, fabrication, packaging, and measurement of GaAs Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuits (MMICs). The goal of this work is to design MMIC LNAs with low noise figure, high gain, and wide bandwidth. The work aims to develop GaAs MMIC LNAs for the application of RF front-end receivers in radio telescopes. GaAs MMIC technology offers modern radio astronomy attractive solutions based on its advantage in terms of high operational frequency, low noise, excellent repeatability and high integration density. Theoretical investigations are performed, presenting the formulation and graphical methods, and focusing on a systematic method to design a low noise amplifier for the best noise, gain and input/output return loss. Additionally, an EM simulation method is utilized and successfully applied to MMIC designs. The effect of packaging including the wire bond and chassis is critical as the frequency increases. Therefore, it is modeled by full-wave analysis where the measured results verify the reliability of these models. The designed MMICs are validated by measurements of several prototypes, including three C/X band and one Q band MMIC LNAs. Moreover, comparison to similar industrial chips demonstrates the superiority of the proposed structures regarding bandwidth, noise and gain flatness, and making them suitable for use in radio astronomy receivers.

Book Design of Power scalable Gallium Nitride Class E Power Amplifiers

Download or read book Design of Power scalable Gallium Nitride Class E Power Amplifiers written by Mark Anthony Connor and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The need for high power, highly efficient, multi-band and multi-mode radio frequency (RF) and microwave power amplifiers in the commercial and defense wireless industries continues to drive the research and development of gallium nitride (GaN) devices and their implementation in the receiver and transmitter lineups of modern microwave systems. Unlike silicon (Si) or gallium arsenide (GaAs), GaN is a direct wide bandgap semiconductor that permits usage in high voltage and therefore high power applications. Additionally, the increased saturation velocity of GaN allows for operation well into the super high frequency (SHF) portion of the RF spectrum. For the power amplifier designer, active devices utilizing GaN will exhibit power densities almost an order of magnitude greater than comparably sized GaAs devices and almost two orders of magnitude greater than Si devices. Not only does this mean an overall size reduction of an amplifier for a given output power, but it allows GaN to replace specialized components such as the traveling-wave tube (TWT) and other circuits once deemed impossible to realize using solid-state electronics. Designs utilizing GaN in amplifiers, switches, mixers, etc., are able to meet the continually shrinking size, increased power, stringent thermal, and cost requirements of a modern microwave system.There are two relatively straight forward methods used to investigate the intrinsic power scaling properties of a GaN high-electron-mobility transistor (HEMTs) configured as a common source amplifier. The first method involves sweeping the applied drain to source voltage bias and the second method involves scaling the physical size of the transistor. The prior method can be used to evaluate fixed sized transistors while the latter method requires an understanding of the obtainable power density for a given device technology prior to fabrication. Since the power density is also a function of the drain to source voltage bias, an initial iterative component of the design cycle may be required to fully characterize the device technology. If a scalable nonlinear device model is available to the designer, the harmonic balance simulator in most computer aided design (CAD) tools can be used to evaluate device parameters such as the maximum output power and power added efficiency (PAE) using large signal load pull simulations.The circuits presented in this thesis address two power amplifier design approaches commonly used in industry. The first approach utilizes commercially available bare die GaN transistors that can be wire-bonded to matching circuitry on a printed circuit board (PCB). This technique is known as hybrid packaging. The second approach utilizes a fully integrated design or monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) and the process design kit (PDK) used to design, simulate and layout the power amplifier circuitry before submission to a foundry for fabrication. In both cases, the nonlinear transistor models are used to investigate the power scalability of class E mode GaN power amplifiers and the techniques used to implement such circuits. The design, results, and challenges of each approach are discussed and future work is presented.

Book Design for Reliability

Download or read book Design for Reliability written by Dana Crowe and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-12-19 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today's marketplace demands product reliability. At the same time, it places ever-increasing demands on products that push the limits of their performance and their functional life, and it does so with the expectation of lower per-unit product costs. To meet these demands, product design now requires a focused, streamlined, concurrent engineering process that will produce a product at the lowest possible cost in the least amount of time. Design for Reliability provides a systematic approach to the design process that is sharply focused on reliability and firmly based on the physics of failure. It imparts an understanding of how, why, and when to use the wide variety of reliability engineering tools available and offers fundamental insight into the total design cycle. Applicable from the idea phase of the product development cycle through product obsolescence, Design for Reliability (DfR) concepts integrated with reliability verification and analytical physics form a coherent stage gate/phase design process that helps ensure that a product will meet customers' reliability objectives. Whether you are a high-volume manufacturer of consumer items or a low volume producer of military commodities, your goal is the same: to bring a product to market using a process focused on designing out or mitigating potential failure modes prior to production release. Readers of Design for Reliability will learn to meet that goal and move beyond solidifying a basic offering to the marketplace to creating a true competitive advantage.
