REMEDIES (1): Interdigital design of emitter and base minimizes capacitances. Gallium arsenide. Faster than silicon. N type GaAsFET. Why N type? Flat component leads.
REMEDIES (2).: Low noise design considerations: * Planar and epitaxial methods of construction use diffusion and surface passivation to protect surfaces from contamination as opposed to diffusion method of mesa structure implementing acid etching. * Shot noise is proportional to the square of current therefore operate at moderate Ic. * Thermal noise is reduced at lower power levels. With interdigital base design Rb is low therefore lower voltage drop and less power.
Photograph of a monolithic integrated X-band power amplifier. This circuit uses eight heterojunction bipolar transistors with power dividers/combiners at the input and output to produce 5 watts.
IMPATT Diode
IMPATT stands for Impact Avalanche And Transit Time Operates in reverse-breakdown (avalanche) region Applied voltage causes momentary breakdown once per cycle This starts a pulse of current moving through the device Frequency depends on device thickness Ditemukan thn 1965,Mr Johnson
PIN Diode
P-type --- Intrinsic --- N-type Used as switch and attenuator Reverse biased - off Forward biased - partly on to on depending on the bias
Varactor Diode
Lower frequencies: used as voltage-variable capacitor Microwaves: used as frequency multiplier
this takes advantage of the nonlinear V-I curve of diodes
YIG Devices
YIG stands for Yttrium - Iron - Garnet
YIG is a ferrite
YIG sphere in a dc magnetic field is used as resonant cavity Changing the magnetic field strength changes the resonant frequency
