Abstract

The invention discloses a millimeter wave monolithic quadrature down converter, pertaining to the field of electronic technology and relating to a millimeter wave monolithic quadrature down converter. Based on PHMET technology, the invention introduces a low-noise amplifying unit through a radio-frequency signal RF input port in the existing millimeter wave monolithic quadrature down converter, thus greatly reducing the frequency conversion loss of the whole monolithic quadrature down converter, without increasing the chip area. Simultaneously, wideband circuits such as Lange Coupler, Marchand Balun and the like are adopted to realize the power division of signals, thereby realizing the wideband feature of the whole quadrature down converter. The down converter can be applied to radar systems, communication systems and other systems.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of electronic technology, relates to a millimeter-wave single-chip orthogonal downconverter, and can be directly applied to systems such as radar and communication. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of microwave communication technology, people have higher and higher requirements for communication equipment. The advantages of small size, light weight, high reliability, and good stability make microwave monolithic integrated circuits (MMICs) gradually replace waveguide systems and hybrid integrated circuits in the field of microwave communications. Microwave monolithic integrated circuit is an integrated circuit formed by manufacturing active devices, passive devices, microwave transmission lines, interconnection lines, etc. on a gallium arsenide or silicon chip by semiconductor technology. [0003] The downconverter is an essential component in the superheterodyne microwave integrated circuit r...
