Abstract

The invention discloses a gallium arsenide (GaAs) PIN tube limiter monolithic circuit with microwave high power and low clipping level, which adopts three-level structure design, wherein the first level adopts the geminate transistor structure of six same GaAs PIN diodes, wherein the cathodes and the anodes of three GaAs PIN diodes are connected in series, the anodes are connected with a microwave signal transmission line, the cathodes are grounded, the cathodes and the anodes of the other three GaAs PIN diodes are connected in series, the cathodes are connected with the microwave signal transmission line, and the anodes are grounded; the second level and the third level adopt the transistor structure of the same diode, wherein the anode of one GaAs PIN diode is connected with the microwave signal transmission line, and the cathode thereof is grounded, the cathode of the other GaAs PIN diode is connected with the microwave signal transmission line, and the anode thereof is grounded. The invention has the advantages that the signal of the monolithic limiter has large signal-passing power and small leaked level and is convenient to apply. The invention can be obtained in volume production by a three-inch GaAs PIN diode monolithic technology and has good consistency and low cost.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention is a monolithic circuit of gallium arsenide (GaAs) PIN tube limiter with high microwave power and low limit level. Using 3-inch GaAs pin diode monolithic technology, the limiter monolithic circuit has the characteristics of large passing power, low insertion loss, high application frequency, low leakage level, small size and convenient use. It belongs to the field of microwave monolithic integrated circuits. Background technique [0002] In a microwave and millimeter wave system, in order to prevent the pre-low noise amplifier (LNA) of the receiver from being burned by the transmitted leakage power, a limiter needs to be placed in front of the low noise amplifier. See attached figure 1 . The limiter is usually implemented with a PIN diode. By controlling the working state of the PIN diode, it can be smooth with a small difference when a low-power microwave signal is passed, and it is attenuated to a lower power level when a high-power ...
