摘要:
A radio frequency integrated circuit with a silicon-on-insulator substrate includes a buried oxide layer that is disposed over a silicon substrate. The silicon-on-insulator substrate has a silicon layer that is disposed over the buried oxide layer. The integrated circuit includes a transistor disposed on the silicon layer, and a guard-ring in the silicon-on-insulator substrate that surrounds the transistor on the silicon layer. Depletion regions on the silicon substrate corresponding to areas surrounding the transistor is defined by the application of a voltage to the guard-ring. Isolation of radio frequency transmission lines on silicon-on-insulator substrates is also possible with this configuration.
摘要:
A quasi-differential amplifier with an input port and an output port. The amplifier has a phase shifter network with a first port connected to the input port, a second port, and a third port. A first amplifier has an input connected to the second port of the phase shifter network, and an output, and a second amplifier has an input connected to the third port of the phase shifter network, and an output. A balun circuit includes a first differential port connected to an output of the first amplifier, a second differential port connected to an output of the second amplifier, and a single-ended port. An output matching network is connected to the single-ended port of the balun circuit and to the output port.
