摘要:
A millimetric-wave amplifier arrangement comprises a first amplifier (2) whose output is connected to one input of the second amplifier (3) via an adjustable attenuator (4, 5, 6). Both amplifiers (2, 3) are integrated on a single substrate (1).

A coplanar waveguide coupler comprising traces (28, 29) and waveguides (22-24, 26), all formed on one layer of multi-layer printed wiring board (10) with the interconnects (37-39, 41) between said traces (28, 29) and waveguides (22-24, 26) being carried on a second layer of said board (10). A third layer may have a ground plane (42).

A coplanar coupler (14) for use with microstrip input and output ports includes a printed circuit substrate in which first and second metal input ports are formed on a top surface and cooperate with a metal layer on the bottom surface as microstrip lines, and a first and second metal output ports formed on the top surface which cooperate with the metal layer on the bottom surface as microstrip lines. The metal layer (24) on the bottom surface functions as a ground plane for the input ports and output ports, the metal layer being removed in a coupler region underlying at least portions of the metal input and output ports and extending therebetween. First and second metal lines (31, 32) are formed on the bottom surface in the coupler region and function as a coplanar coupler for the input and output ports. Electrical vias in the substrate interconnect the ports and the coplanar coupler.

A coplanar waveguide directional coupler (116,134) may be formed on a surface (102a,106a) of a substrate (102) and/or a microwave monolithic integrated circuit (MMIC) chip (106), with the MMIC chip (106) being flip-chip mounted on the substrate (102). The directional coupler (116,134) includes an input port (114,136), a coupled port (126,154), a direct port (122,152) and an isolation port (1118,150) formed on the surface (102a,106a). At least two parallel first striplines (24,26) are formed on the surface (102a,106a), having first ends connected to the input port (114,136) and second ends connected to the direct port (122,152). At least two parallel second striplines (36,38) are formed on the surface (102a,106a), having first ends connected to the coupled port (126,154) and second ends connected to the isolation port (118,150). The second striplines (36,38) are interdigitated with the first striplines (24,26) to provide tight signal coupling therebetween. First and second main ground planes (52,54) are formed on the surface (102a,106a) and extend parallel to and on opposite respective sides of the interdigitated first and second striplines (24,26,36,38). The input port (114,136), coupled port (126,154), direct port (122,152) and isolation port (118,150) each include a coplanar waveguide section having a center conductor (14a,16a,18a,-20a) connected to the ends of the respective striplines (24,26,36,38), and first and second ground planes (14b,-14c),(16b,16c),(18b,18c),(20b,20c) which extend parallel to the center conductor (14a,16a,18a,20a) on opposite sides thereof and are connected in circuit to the main ground planes (52,54).
