提出并论证了一种小型化宽带平衡MMIC（单片微波集成电路）倍频，由直接连接到每个漏极的共栅极FET和共源FET组成。该倍频器被设计和制造为小型化功能模块，使用传统的双栅极 FET 配置、有源捕获和有源阻抗匹配。通过相位误差估计、栅极宽度优化和栅源电压优化来执行倍频器设计。非线性条件下的相位误差估计消除了相位误差补偿电路。所制造的芯片尺寸仅为0.5mm*0.5mm，约为先前报道的倍增器面积的1/10。在输出频率6～16GHz范围内，变频损耗为8～10dB，基频抑制优于17dB，输入回波损耗优于8dB。该宽带倍频器作为小型化MMIC功能模块，可适用于小尺寸振荡器MMIC和多功能MMIC。 >
A miniaturized broadband balanced MMIC (monolithic microwave integrated circuit) frequency double, composed of a common-gate FET and a common-source FET directly connected to each drain electrode, has been proposed and demonstrated. The doubler is designed and fabricated as a miniaturized function module using a conventional two-gate FET configuration, active trapping, and active impedance matching. The doubler design has been performed through phase error estimation, gate width optimization, and gate-source voltage optimization. The phase error estimation in a nonlinear condition has eliminated phase error compensation circuits. The fabricated chip size is only 0.5 mm*0.5 mm, which is about 1/10 the area of previously reported doublers. A conversion loss of 8-10 dB, a fundamental frequency suppression better than 17 dB, and an input return loss better than 8 dB are obtained in the output frequency range from 6 to 16 GHz. The broadband doubler as a miniaturized MMIC function module can be applicable to small-size oscillator MMICs and multifunction MMICs. >
