摘要: 太赫兹固态肖特基谐波混频技术是空间天文、行星、大气探测的重要手段,显然研究太赫兹单片集成谐波混频器具有重要意义,克服了传统混合集成方法(即将分立的肖特基二极管与石英匹配电路胶接而成)存在的装配难、热效应不平衡、可靠性差等系列问题。本文基于全国产自主砷化镓流片工艺线,完成了一款550 GHz频段单片集成谐波混频器的研制与验证。二极管设计方面,建立精确的肖特基变阻管非线性和三维电磁模型;匹配电路方面,采用典型的减高波导、高低阻抗悬置微带线(实现RF与LO信号的隔离)、矩形探针等结构,结合场路分析方法,实现最简化匹配电路设计;整体电路含二极管对集成在3 μm厚的GaAs薄膜上,并通过两侧的梁氏引线实现与腔体的固定安装。测试结果表明:混频器模块在548~572 GHz单边带变频损耗优于13.4 dB,并基于此结果实现了设计的反馈仿真研究。

Abstract: Terahertz solid-state Schottky harmonic mixing technology is an important means of space astronomy, planetary exploration, and atmospheric detection. Obviously, the research on terahertz monolithic integrated harmonic mixers is of great significance, as it overcomes a series of problems such as assembly difficulty, thermal imbalance, and poor reliability that exist in traditional hybrid integration methods (discrete Schottky diodes are glued to quartz matching circuits). Based on the domestic gallium arsenide process line, the development and verification of a 550 GHz monolithic integrated harmonic mixer are independently completed. For diode design, accurate nonlinear and 3D models of Schottky diodes are established. For circuit matching, typical structures are adopted, such as reduced height waveguides, stepped impedance lines (to isolate RF and LO signals), rectangular probes. Combined with field-circuit analysis methods the simplest matching circuit design is realized. The mixer circuit includes diodes integrates on a 3 μm GaAs thin film, and is fixed with the cavity through the beam leads on both sides. The test results show that the single sideband conversion loss of the mixer is better than 13.4 dB at 548~572 GHz. Based on this result, a feedback simulation study of the design is achieved.-
