A low phase-error 44-GHz HEMT attenuator
1998
Radio frequency (RF) subsystems for emerging millimeter-wave applications require monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) attenuators with constant phase over the attenuation range. In this work, we present the results for a 44 GHz stepped attenuator implemented in high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) MMIC technology. Use of a switched-path topology provides a high attenuation range (>30 dB) with good phase flatness ( 14.5 dB) over the attenuation range. The same design topology should be well suited for other frequencies throughout the upper microwave and lower millimeter-wave range.
