Influence of phased array antenna impedance on a 40-100 GHz active circulator in commercial GaAs

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference proceeding contributionpeer-review

Abstract

A low-power, broadband Ka to W-band active quasi-circulator is demonstrated in a commercial GaAs process. To the author's knowledge, its 40-100 GHz bandwidth is the broadest reported to date. In addition, a novel technique is introduced to conveniently study the effect of phased array antenna impedance variation, e.g. due to changing scan angle during radar tracking, on the circulator's performance. It is shown that improved system performance can be obtained by centring antenna impedance away from 50Ω.
