.每个通道的带内测试增益大于31.5 dB，噪声系数为1.7~1.9 dB，对28~30 GHz的发射频段具有大于61.5 dBc的抑制度，相位控制误差为4.7°，幅度控制误差为1 dB.该设计具有集成度高、增益高、抑制度高、噪声低等突出优点.

Abstract

In this paper

a K-band four-channel integrated receiving front-end module is developed using the multilayer low temperature co-fired ceramics (LTCC) technology for the application of low earth orbit satellite communication. The operating frequency is from 17.7 to 20.2 GHz. MMIC chips

including low noise amplifiers

6 bit phase shifters

5 bit attenuators and series-parallel converters

and multilayer ceramic capacitors are mounted inside the cavity of the module while passive components

such as a power combiner and low-pass filters

are embedded into the multilayer substrate. The overall size of the module is 28×28×1.35 mm

. In measurements

the in-band channel gain is over 31.5 dB

the noise figure is 1.7~1.9 dB

and the suppression against the transmitting band of 28~30 GHz is over 61.5 dBc. The control errors of phase shift and attenuation amplitude are better than 4.7° and 1 dB

respectively. It is demonstrated that our design has the advantages of high integration

high gain

high suppression and low noise.
