基于氮化镓二极管的异构集成宽带小型化限幅器电路

    Heterogeneously Integrated Broadband Miniaturized Limiter Based on GaN Diode

    • 摘要: 硅二极管器件耐功率高、击穿电压大,基于硅二极管的大功率射频限幅器,因需依托其该特性,一般采用半有源结构。本文在半有源硅二极管限幅器设计的基础上,结合氮化镓二极管的特性,设计了自检波半有源限幅器。以此为基础进一步采用异构集成方案,将硅二极管与氮化镓单片微波集成电路方案相结合,实现了基于氮化镓二极管的异构集成宽带小型化限幅电路。实测限幅电路在2 GHz~14 GHz频率范围内插损小于2.4 dB, 在2 GHz频点实测连续波耐功率达100 W,电路尺寸3.15 mm×3.00 mm×0.40 mm。相比于半有源微组装形式的限幅架构,本文设计的限幅器在尺寸上明显减小,同时可以实现较高的耐功率指标。

       

      Abstract: Silicon(Si) PIN devices have high power resistance and high breakdown voltage. High-power radio frequency limiters based on Si PIN generally adopt a semi-active structure. Based on the design of the semi-active Si PIN limiter, a self-rectifying semi-active limiter in combination with the characteristics of gallium nitride(GaN) diodes is designed in this paper. Based on this, a heterogeneous integration solution is further adopted to combine Si PIN with GaN monolithic microwave integrated circuit solution to realize a heterogeneous integrated broadband miniaturized limiting circuit based on GaN diodes. The measured limiting circuit has an insertion loss of less than 2.4 dB in the frequency range of 2 GHz~14 GHz, a continuous wave power resistance of 100 W at 2 GHz, and a circuit size of 3.15 mm×3.00 mm×0.40 mm. Compared with the semi-active micro-assembled limiting architecture, the limiter designed in this paper is significantly reduced in size and can achieve a higher power resistance index.
