CHU2277 W-band Multifunction : Multiplier / MPA GaAs Monolithic Microwave IC Description Main Features n n n n n n n n n n +V -V OUT1 IN x2 OUT2 W-band multifunction block-diagram 20 18 OUT1 16 Output power (dBm) The CHU2277 is a W-band monolithic multifunction which integrates a frequency multiplier, a four-stage amplifier and a power divider. The frequency multiplier is based on an active transistor and allows to operate at low input level with a reduced power consumption. This chip provides two outputs at 77GHz, the main one is for the transmission path and the auxiliary one for the receiving mixer (s) LO signal. All the active devices are internally self biased. This chip is compatible with automatic equipment for assembly. The circuit is manufactured with the P-HEMT process : 0.15µm gate length, via holes through the substrate, air bridges and electron beam gate lithography. It is available in chip form. 14 12 10 8 OUT2 6 4 Wide operating frequency range Low input power : 5dBm typical High output power (OUT1) Auxiliary output power (OUT2) Low AM noise High temperature range On-chip self biasing Automatic assembly oriented Low DC power consumption Chip size : 4.65 x 1.6 x 0.1mm 2 0 75 75,5 76 76,5 77 77,5 78 Output frequency (GHz) Typical output power characteristic Pin = 7dBm (on wafer measurement) Main Characteristics Tamb = +25°C Symbol F_in Parameter Min Typ Max Unit Input frequency 38 38.5 GHz F_out Output frequency 76 77 GHz P_out1 Main output power 13 dBm P_out2 Auxiliary output power 10 dBm ESD Protections : Electrostatic discharge sensitive device observe handling precautions !

This choice allows to do, for OUT2 port, a direct connection between MMICs. For a connection to an external substrate a network is proposed on soft substrate for OUT1 and OUT2 ports. The following drawings gives the dimensions for a DUROID substrate (thickness=0.127mm, εr=2.2).
