  • a k text ka band concurrent dual band single ended input to Differential Output low noise amplifier employing a novel transformer feedback dual band load
    IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems, 2018
    Co-Authors: Cam Nguyen
    Abstract:

    A concurrent dual-band single-ended input to Differential Output (single-ended-to-Differential) low-noise amplifier (LNA) employing a novel transformer feedback single-ended-to-Differential dual-band load is proposed. The developed LNA topology is flexible in controlling the stopband notch frequency by optimizing the transformer’s self-inductance and coupling coefficient. It also has a unique advantage in controlling both the stopband rejection and passband gain balance, simultaneously. The LNA is designed using a 0.18- $\mu \text{m}$ BiCMOS process and exhibits the same single-ended-to-Differential peak gains of 19.2 dB at 21.5 and 36 GHz in the low- and high-passband, respectively, with the stopband rejection ratio of 37.1 dB. In the single-ended input to single-ended Output (single-ended) mode operation, the designed LNA exhibits the measured peak gains of 15.7/16.6 dB at 21.5 GHz and 15.7/16.7 dB at 36 GHz for the two signal paths. It achieves the best measured single-ended noise figures of 4.3/4.0 and 4.3/4.2 dB for the two signal paths in the respective low and high passbands. The LNA also attains the measured Differential gain and phase imbalances of 0.9/1.0 dB and 0.5/10.4 degree in the low/high passband, respectively. This LNA is the first concurrent dual-band single-ended-to-Differential LNA integrated on-chip operating in ${K}$ - and Ka -band.

  • a wideband compact parallel strip 180 spl deg wilkinson power divider for push pull circuitries
    IEEE Microwave and Wireless Components Letters, 2006
    Co-Authors: Leung Chiu, Chi Hou Chan
    Abstract:

    A Wilkinson power divider with a Differential Output implemented in parallel-strip-line (PSL) is proposed. Taking full advantages of the PSL technology and a three-stage cascaded design, more than 170% impedance and isolation bandwidths are obtained. Inherent to the PSL structure, the 180deg Differential Output is frequency-independent. A class-B push-pull power amplifier employing the devised concept is designed, showing a peak efficiency of 44% over a 4-GHz bandwidth. Without exploiting any extra and external low-pass filters, the proposed design can produce startling second-harmonic suppressions (more than 50dB) over the whole working dynamics and operated bandwidth
