Silicon-Based Known-Frequency Slot-Coupled Indirect Millimeter-Wave Phase Detector

Abstract

The invention relates to a coupling indirect type millimeter wave phase detector for a silicon-based known frequency gap. The coupling indirect type millimeter wave phase detector is composed of a coplanar waveguide, a gap coupling structure, a phase shifter, a Wilkinson power divider, a Wilkinson power combiner and indirect type thermoelectric power sensors, wherein the whole structure is manufactured on the basis of a high-resistance Si substrate; four gap coupling structures are arranged in total; the two gap coupling structures on the upper side are connected with two indirect type thermoelectric power sensors; the two gap coupling structures on the lower side can realize the phase measurement for the signal; one phase shifter is arranged between front and rear gaps; the Wilkinson power divider and the Wilkinson power combiner are composed of the coplanar waveguide, an asymmetrical coplanar wire and a resistor; the indirect type thermoelectric power sensors are mainly composed of the coplanar waveguide, two resistors and a thermo-electric pile; the thermo-electric pile is composed of two different semiconductor arms in cascading connection and can convert the heat generated by a terminal resistor into the thermoelectric potential. The structure is low in cost and the efficiency is greatly increased.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention provides a silicon-based known-frequency gap-coupled indirect millimeter-wave phase detector, which belongs to the technical field of micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS). Background technique [0002] With the continuous development of information technology, signal detection technology is also advancing with the pace of the times. As we all know, a signal has three basic elements: frequency, phase and power. The detection of these three elements of the signal is Signal detection technology is the most important thing. For many years, the measurement technology of low-frequency signals has been very mature, but with the increase of signal frequency, the measurement technology of high-frequency signals is also undergoing continuous development and improvement. A millimeter-wave signal is a high-frequency signal located between a microwave signal and an optical signal. For a millimeter-wave signal of a known frequency, the phase detecti...
