A low-differential-loss low-phase-shift high-integration-level five-level marching type ultra-wide-band
numerical control attenuator is formed by a single
signal channel which comprises a
transmission line TL0, an 8dB attenuation module of a pai-type structure, an
inductor L1, a 0-7dB combined attenuation module of a T type-bridge T type combined structure, an
inductor L2, a 16dB attenuation module of a pai-type structure and a transmission TL1 in a cascaded mode in sequence based on the RF
CMOS technology. An MOS tube is used as a
control switch, five independent control ends controls three attenuation modules to work, an inducting network is used for
phase compensation, working frequency range is Ku
wave band within the attenuation range of 0-31 dB with marching length of 1dB, and 32-state low-differential-loss low-phase-shift
signal amplitude attenuation can be achieved. The attenuator has the advantages of being low in differential loss, low in additional phase shift, low in production cost, small in
chip area and compatible with a digital
processing module, and the attenuator can be used for single-
chip ultra-wide-band communication
system integration.
