The GaAs nonlinear transmission line (NLTL) is a monolithic millimeter-wave integrated circuit consisting of a high-impedance transmission line loaded by reverse-biased Schottky contacts. The engineering of functional monolithic NLTLs is considered. Through generation of shock waves on the NLTL, the authors have generated electrical step functions with approximately 5 V magnitude and less than 1.4 ps fall time. Diode sampling bridges strobed by NLTL shock-wave generators have attained bandwidths approaching 300 GHz and have applications in instruments for millimeter-wave waveform and network measurements. The authors discuss the circuit design and diode design requirements for picosecond NLTL shock-wave generators and NLTL-driven sampling circuits.<> 相似文献

Picosecond optical sampling of GaAs integrated circuits 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Direct electrooptic sampling is a noncontact optical-probing technique for measuring with picosecond time resolution the voltage waveforms at internal nodes within GaAs integrated circuits. The factors contributing to system bandwidth, sensitivity, spatial resolution, and circuit perturbation are discussed, as are the circuit requirements for realistic testing of analog and digital devices. Measurements of high-speed GaAs integrated circuits are presented, including time-domain waveform and timing measurements of digital and analog circuits and frequency-domain transfer function measurements of microwave circuits and transmission structures 相似文献

The characterization of microwave and millimeter-wave monolithic integrated circuits (MIMICs) using picosecond pulse-sampling techniques is developed with emphasis on improving broadband coverage and measurement accuracy. GaAs photoconductive switches are used for signal generation and sampling operations. The measured time-domain response allows the spectral transfer function of the MIMIC to be obtained. This measurement technique is verified by characterization of the frequency response (magnitude and phase) of a reference 50-Ω microstrip line and a two-stage K a-band MIMIC amplifier. The measured broadband results agree with those obtained from conventional frequency-domain measurements using a network analyzer. The application of this optical technique to on-wafer MIMIC characterization is described 相似文献

We present measurements on the optical frequency response of epitaxial lift-off (ELO) 1.0-μm InP high-electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) to 140 GHz using electrooptic sampling and heterodyne techniques. Our picosecond sampling measurements established that the lift-off devices exhibited substantial optical response to 140 GHz. Heterodyne measurements made at 60 and 94 GHz later confirmed these findings. A novel three wave mixing technique was used to extend the heterodyne bandwidth to 130 GHz. In these experiments, millimeter waves were generated in our optically driven HEMT's and launched into waveguides. These lift off devices can be major additions to future millimeter wave integrated optoelectronic systems either as high frequency optical detectors or as optically driven tunable millimeter wave sources 相似文献

In order to provide a means of rigorous simulation for wideband nonlinear microwave integrated circuits, the concept of a lumped device model is introduced into a three-dimensional, time-domain electromagnetic field analysis method. This makes it possible to perform both a circuit simulation including nonlinear lumped devices and an electromagnetic field analysis for distributed microwave components at the same time. As an example, the generation of picosecond pulses from a nonlinear transmission line circuit is simulated. Based on the results, the features and the validity of the method are discussed in comparison with conventional circuit simulations 相似文献

We describe a new technique for the measurement of picosecond switching speeds and propagation delays in gigahertz digital IC's. This technique, based on logic-level sampling with pairs of ultrashort optical pulses at variable interpulse delays, provides accurate and reliable values of picosecond propagation delays without requiring the coupling of high-frequency electrical signals to and from the IC chip. Since this optical technique dispenses with the usual need for dicing and mounting the IC wafer in high-frequency (multigigahertz bandwidth) test fixtures, a promising application of its use is in the precise temporal characterization of multigigabit logic circuits in low-frequency (< 100-MHz) probe stations. 相似文献

A multiharmonic loading method for nonlinear microwave and millimeter-wave transistor characterization using six-port techniques is presented. The system allows independent load tuning of an excitation signal and its harmonics. Load-pull measurements on a MESFET which have been performed at the fundamental frequency f 0 and at the second (2f 0) and third (3f 0 ) harmonics are discussed. The results highlight the importance of such measurement in designing and modeling nonlinear devices and circuits. The experimental results are found to be directly applicable for optimizing efficiency and output power in high-power MESFET amplifiers and MESFET frequency multipliers 相似文献

A new multifunction millimeter-wave sensor operating at 35.6 GHz has been developed and demonstrated for measurement of displacement and low velocity. The sensor was realized using microwave integrated circuits and monolithic microwave integrated circuits. Measured displacement results show unprecedented resolution of only 10 /spl mu/m, which is approximately equivalent to /spl lambda//sub 0//840 in terms of free-space wavelength /spl lambda//sub 0/, and maximum error of only 27 /spl mu/m. A polynomial curve-fitting method was also developed for correcting the error. Results indicate that multiple reflections dominate the displacement measurement error. The sensor was able to measure speed as low as 27.7 mm/s, corresponding to 6.6 Hz in Doppler frequency, with an estimated velocity resolution of 2.7 mm/s. A digital quadrature mixer (DQM) was configured as a phase-detecting processor, employing a quadrature sampling signal-processing technique, to overcome the nonlinear phase response problem of a conventional analog quadrature mixer. The DQM also enables low Doppler frequency to be measured with high resolution. The Doppler frequency was determined by applying linear regression on the phase sampled within only fractions of the period of the Doppler frequency. Short-term stability of the microwave signal source was also considered to predict its effect on measurement accuracy. 相似文献

This paper presents a full electromagnetic wave analysis for modeling the nonlinearity in high temperature superconductor (HTS) microwave and millimeter-wave devices. The HTS nonlinear model is based on the Ginzburg-Landau theory. The electromagnetic fields associated with the currents on the superconducting structure are obtained using a three-dimensional full wave solution of Maxwell's equations. A three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain algorithm simultaneously solves the resulting equations. The entire solution is performed in time domain, which is a must for this type of nonlinearity analysis. The macroscopic parameters of the HTS, the super fluid penetration depth and the normal fluid conductivity, are calculated as functions of the applied magnetic field. The nonlinear propagation characteristics for HTS transmission line, including the effective dielectric constant and the attenuation constant, are calculated, As the power on the transmission line increases, the phase velocity decreases and the line losses increase. The nonlinearity effects on the current distributions inside the HTS, the electromagnetic field distributions, and the frequency spectrum are also analyzed 相似文献

A theory of nonstationary nonlinear wave phenomena occurring in the field of ultrashort high-intensity light pulses is developed (harmonic generation and parametric amplification stimulated Raman scattering). The main equations are given, the group velocity mismatch effects are studied, and special attention is paid to the high-conversion conditions. The possibilities of picosecond pulse narrowing on account of linear and nonlinear nonresonance parametric amplification and harmonic generation are studied in detail. The factors that determine the minimum light-pulse duration (dispersion broadening) are examined. A nonstationary theory of stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) is developed. Expressions for minimum pulse duration in forward and backward SRS are given. Reduction of Raman amplification with a picosecond pump is discussed. 相似文献

A theoretical model which was developed to investigate the propagation characteristics of picosecond electrical pulses on a coplanar waveguide capacitively coupled to periodically spaced sampling channels is presented. Various factors which affect the signal waveform are analyzed in both the frequency and the time domains. The results show that in addition to modal dispersion, conductor loss, and radiation loss of the electrical signals, multiple reflections among the sampling gaps constitute another feature of the signal transfer along the waveguide. The authors have measured the picosecond pulse dispersion using the optoelectronic correlation technique. The experimental data are compared with the theoretical results 相似文献

A new system is proposed for millimeter-wave integrated circuits. It is suggested that high-resistivity silicon be used as a medium for a dielectric waveguide. With the advent of high-resistivity silicon, propagation can occur with relatively low Ioss. Furthermore, since the medium is a semiconductor compatible with active devices, it is proposed that active devices can be constructed directly in the semiconductor dielectric guide or appendaged directly on the surface. The basic approach is similar to that used in integrated optics, except that the medium for millimeter-wave guidance is a semiconductor and the control devices rely on conductivity modulation rather than on electrooptical effects. Some particular devices suggested are oscillator, mechanical and electronic phase shifters, amplitude modulators (switches), and detectors. The first of such devices investigated has been the electronic phase shtiter. Related theory and experiments are reported here. In addition, preliminary results on oscillators imbedded in a dielectric resonator are presented. 相似文献

We demonstrate precise measurement of sub-100 ps rise time on-chip electrical waveforms and of pulse propagation in digital GaAs integrated circuits with the use of picosecond electro-optic sampling. These experiments yield the first non-invasive measurement of single-gate propagation delays via direct and precise observation of on-chip waveforms at the input and output of individual logic gates internal to an integrated circuit. 相似文献

Nonlinear gain in a 34-GHz three-stage frequency-doubling gyro-traveling wave tube (gyro-TWT) has been experimentally studied. The device consists of a thermionic electron gun, TE/sub 01//spl rarr/TE/sub 02/ fundamental gyro-TWT input section, second harmonic TE/sub 03/ intermediate buncher section, and a second harmonic TE/sub 02//spl rarr/TE/sub 04/ complex output circuit. Nonlinear bunching in the electron orbital phase generates harmonics of the input signal in the beam current, which excite the subsequent circuits at the second harmonic frequency. Since the gain is nonlinear, noise or applied sideband signals intermodulate with the carrier generating high-order products in the output. Therefore, it has been suggested that the noise figure of these devices may be unreasonably high. In this study, the complex harmonic transfer characteristics were experimentally measured and compared with calculations based on the assumption that the gyro-amplifier gain can be described, in the narrowband sense, as a classical frequency-doubling circuit. The results show that narrowband intermodulation gain is 6 dB higher than the carrier as predicted in the small signal limit, but as the device reaches saturation the nonlinear products become suppressed with respect to the carrier. Tests on the broadband gain characteristics show that output noise consists of second harmonic shot noise spontaneously excited in the output circuits along with the products of the intermodulation between external noise and the carrier. Good agreement between the experimental results and the calculations is demonstrated. 相似文献
