摘要: A beamforming integrated circuit system is configured to optimize performance. Among other things, the system may run at a lower power than conventional integrated circuits, selectively disable branches to control certain system functions, and/or selectively position ground pads around receiving pads to enhance isolation. The system also may use a beamforming integrated circuit as a distribution circuit for a number of similar or like beamforming integrated circuits.

摘要: A method and apparatus for power combining or dividing handles high impedance line requirements in n-way combiners (15) and dividers (10) using phase delay networks (12, 14) to transform impedances to a lower, intermediate impedance. Each impedance transformation is accomplished using a stepped impedance or tapered impedance transmission line (26). The method and apparatus provides isolation between input or output ports (11, 22 and 24, 13) in power combining or dividing circuits using an incremental phase delay network (12) of prescribed electrical phase lengths (22, 24) to provide phase cancellation. The power divider (10) and combiner (15) can be used in power amplifiers and in communication devices.

摘要: In an exemplary embodiment, a phased array solid-state architecture has dual-polarized feeds and is manufactured, for example, on highly flexible silicon germanium (SiGe). The implementation of dual-polarized feeds facilitates the operation of phased arrays where the polarization can be statically or dynamically controlled on a subarray or element basis. In an exemplary embodiment, the sub-component control is configured to optimize a performance characteristic associated with polarization, such as phase or amplitude adjustment. An active phased array architecture may replace traditional distributed and GaAs implementations for the necessary functions required to operate electronically steerable phased array antennas. The architecture combines active versions of vector generators, power splitters, power combiners, and RF hybrids in a novel fashion to realize a fully or substantially monolithic solution for a wide range of antenna applications that can be realized with radiating elements having single-polarized or dual-polarized feeds.

摘要: A multistage MMIC power amplifier with diagonal oriented field effect transistors (FETs) provides higher power output for a smaller MMIC die size. Corporate feed structures divide the RF input signal and combine the RF output signals and in a base two fashion. The corporate feed structures allow the FETs of the amplifier stages operate in-phase with adjacent circuitry appearing as an even-mode open circuit. The MMIC power amplifier is suitable for applications where reduced size, high efficiency and high gain are important, such as in commercial communication systems.
