Abstract
High speed SiGe MMICS for phased array communications has been widely used in satellite communications. This dissertation presents the development of reconfigurable SiGe MMICs for upper X-band or lower Ku band satellite phased array communications. Novel high-isolation, low-insertion-loss and highly linear octagonal PIN diode has been designed on SiGe substrate to improve on the current state of the art performance. Fabricated in a standard 0.18-μm SiGe BiCMOS technology, the 50 μm2 PIN SPST switch can achieve an insertion loss of less than 0.65 dB from 2 to 18 GHz with the measured P1dB of 16 dBm. The radiation tolerance of the developed PIN diodes has been verified with TID test up to 1000 krad.
