`3. Detailed Description of the Invention
`[Field of Industrial Application]
`The present invention relates to microwave
`
`circuits and particularly
`to microwave circuits
`equipped with an active element that amplifies a
`microwave input signal and an impedance matching
`circuit that matches the input-output impedance of the
`active element to the impedance of an adjacent input-

`
`[Related Art and Problems the Invention is Intended to
`Solve]
`
`In recent years, with the advancement of the
`development of field effect transistors (FETs) made of
`GaAs or InP as well as modulation doped field effect
`transistors, attempts
`to make
`their
`transistors,
`matching circuits, and bias circuits monolithic upon a
`semiconductor substrate have been taking place
`actively in many labs. Such monolithic ICs are called
`MMICs (monolithic microwave integrated circuits)
`and are more compact and higher in reliability than the
`
`hybrid microwave integrated circuits (MICs) mainly
`used in microwave applications up until now.

`
`comprises: an input transmission line 2 connected
`between the input terminal 10 and the gate of the FET
`1, and a capacitor 70 connected between the input
`terminal 10 and GND. The matching circuit 17
`comprises: an output transmission line 3 connected
`between the output terminal 11 and the drain of the
`FET 1; and a capacitor 12 connected between the
`output terminal 11 and GND. The aforementioned gate
`bias circuit 18 comprises: a bias terminal 8 for
`supplying a DC voltage to the gate of the FET 1, a
`capacitor 6 connected between this terminal 8 and
`GND, and a choke coil 4 connected between the bias
`terminal 8 and the input transmission line 2. In
`addition, the drain voltage impressing circuit 19
`comprises: a bias terminal 9 for the purpose of
`supplying a DC voltage to the drain of the FET 1; a
`capacitor 7; and a choke coil 5.
`Note that, in this circuit, when the one in FIG. 5
`
`is used as the FET 1, these circuit constants are set as
`follows.

`
`The gain at 12 GHz of an MMIC amplifier in the
`situation in which the circuit constants as described
`above are set is 18.8 dB, and the input-output
`reflection coefficient is substantially 0.
`
`However, there is dispersion in the gate length as
`described above, and as a result, when the input
`capacitance Cin within the wafer plane is distributed
`within the range of 0.18–0.22 pF, there is dispersion in
`S11 at 12 GHz. The appearance of this dispersion is
`shown in FIG. 4. In FIG. 4, the points A, B, and C
`correspond to Cin = 0.22, 0.20, and 0.18 pF,
`respectively. In addition, Aʹ, Bʹ,
`
`low-pass noise

`Consequently, various
`amplifiers, mixers, oscillators, and other MMICs that
`operate over frequencies from the UHF band to the
`microwave band have been developed at various labs,
`contributing to the miniaturization of microwave
`transceivers and the like.
` With an MMIC, active elements (FETs and
`bipolar transistors and the like) along with microwave
`lines, capacitors, resistors, and other passive elements
`are integrated in a monolithic manner upon a
`semiconductor substrate. At
`this
`time, because
`microwave lines and capacitors have large physical
`sizes, by using semiconductor processes they can be
`fabricated with virtually no dispersion. However,
`because the active elements such as FETs and bipolar
`transistors and the like require fine processing,
`dispersion in element characteristics is unavoidable.
`Specifically, in an FET, because advances in making
`the gate electrodes thinner have been made in recent
`years, the gate length has been reduced to 0.1 μm.
`However, because it is difficult to fabricate a 0.1 μm
`gate electrode with good reproducibility, a certain
`amount of dispersion arises. Because the drain current
`of an FET is inversely proportional to the gate length,
`in an operating state in which the drain current is
`constant, it is necessary to vary the operating voltage
`of the gate with respect to the gate length. In addition,
`because the gate length and gate capacitance are
`roughly proportional, the input impedance of the FET
`is governed by the gate length.
`
`FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating the frequency
`characteristics (1–12 GHz) of the S-parameters at a
`gate length of approximately 0.1 μm and gate width of
`250 μm. In this figure, 50 is the S11 component of the
`S-parameters and 51 is the S22 component of the S-
`parameters. As
`shown
`in
`these
`frequency
`characteristics, the input side S11 of the FET can be
`expressed as the resistance component Rin and the
`capacitance component Cin connected in series; in
`addition, the output side S22 can be expressed as the
`the capacitance
`resistance component Rout and
`component Cout connected in parallel. Moreover, in
`this FET, Rin is 8 Ω, Cin is 0.2 pF, Rout is 150 Ω, and
`Cout is 0.1 pF, while the transconductance gm is 60 mS.
`FIG. 6 illustrates an equivalent circuit of the
`aforementioned FET.

`an input matching circuit 16, an output matching
`circuit 17, a gate bias circuit 18 for impressing a bias
`voltage on the FET 1, and a drain voltage impressing

`
`an output transmission line for the purpose of
`
`
`transmitting the microwave output signal from the
`active element;
`
`
`a diode that is connected in parallel to the
`active element and that compensates for changes in the
`capacitance of the active element; and
`
`
`a control voltage supplying means for the
`purpose of supplying a control voltage to the active
`element and the diode such that the capacitance of the
`active element and the capacitance of the diode vary
`inversely to each other.
`
`[Operation]
`
`According to the present invention of the
`aforementioned constitution, because the diode is
`connected in parallel with the active element, by
`varying
`the control voltage of
`the diode,
`the
`capacitance of the diode and the active element
`changes, and at the same time, the current of the
`aforementioned active element also changes. Because
`this change in capacitance has an inverse relationship
`in the increase and decrease between the diode and the
`active element,
`in
`the situation
`in which
`the
`capacitance of the active element is less than a desired
`value, the control voltage can be adjusted higher to
`make the capacitance of the diode greater; conversely,
`if the capacitance of the active element is greater than
`a desired value, then the capacitance of the diode
`becomes small by adjusting the control voltage to be
`smaller. Thereby, it is possible to perform impedance
`matching in a self-matching manner with respect to
`dispersion in the capacitance of the active element.
`
`[Working Examples]
`
`The present invention is explained in detail
`below, with reference to working examples.
`
`FIG. 1 is a circuit diagram showing a first
`working example of the present invention. With
`reference to this figure, the difference between the
`microwave circuit of this working example and the
`microwave circuit of FIG. 7 lies in the points that: a
`diode 13, for the purpose of constituting the input
`matching circuit together with transmission line 2, is
`connected between input terminal 10 and the capacitor
`14, which is shorted in the microwave band; and a bias
`terminal 15 for impressing a control voltage for the
`purpose of impedance matching is connected to the
`anode of the diode 13.
`
`The aforementioned diode 13 used is one that has
`a Schottky barrier between an n-type semiconductor
`and metal (for example, Al, Ti). Here, the carrier
`concentration of
`the n-type semiconductor
`is
`approximately 3 × 1017 cm–3
`
`0.20

`
`0.22

`0.36
`
`and Cʹ (the white circles ○) are the complex conjugate
`impedances of the points A, B, and C, respectively.
`
`As shown in FIG. 4, even though there is
`dispersion in S11, the matching circuit within the
`MMIC is set based on point B, and therefore a problem
`arises in that the S11 matching loss increases the further
`the shift from B.
`
`In the circuit of FIG. 7, Table 1 shows the result
`of the calculation of the gain and the input reflection
`coefficient of the MMIC when there are dispersions of
`the Cin of the FET 1 of 0.18, 0.20, and 0.22 pF. Note
`that, to simplify the discussion here, only Cin is varied
`and the other equivalent circuit constants are kept
`constant. In addition, the input reflection coefficient is
`the reflection coefficient when the FET 1 is viewed
`from terminal D in FIG. 7.

`coefficient
`In this manner, because adversely there is
`
`dispersion in the microwave characteristics of the
`MMIC depending on the dispersion of the gate length,
`it is necessary to adjust the matching circuit of the
`MMIC in accordance with the dispersion of the
`microwave characteristics of
`the MMIC post-
`production. However, to perform adjustments of the
`matching circuit of the MMIC post-production, it
`would be necessary to change the length or width of
`the input transmission line 2 or the output transmission
`line, or change the capacitors 12 or 70, but this is
`impossible. This is the cause of drops in MMIC
`performance or yield.
`in
`
`The present
`invention was conceived
`consideration of the aforementioned problems and has
`as its object to provide a microwave circuit that can
`prevent such drops in MMIC performance or yield
`even with dispersion
`in active elements, and
`particularly even with dispersion in the microwave
`characteristics.
`
`[Means for Solving the Problem]
`
`The microwave circuit according to the present
`invention
`for
`the purpose of achieving
`the
`aforementioned object is:
`
`a microwave circuit having formed upon a
`substrate: an active element for amplifying a
`microwave input signal, and an impedance matching
`circuit for matching the input-output impedance of the
`active element to the impedance of an adjacent input-
`output circuit, wherein:
`the impedance matching circuit comprises:
`
`
`
`an input transmission line for the purpose of
`transmitting the microwave input signal to the active
`element;

`
`In the conventional example shown in FIG. 7,
`
`with regard to the reflection coefficient when the node
`Dʹ is viewed from the left side, even if the Cin (Vgs) of
`the FET varies, it is constantly at point B; therefore, in
`the situation in which Cin becomes 0.18 pF (Vgs = –0.7
`V), the distance from points Bʹ to Cʹ in FIG. 4 becomes
`the matching loss; in addition, in the situation in which
`Cin becomes 0.22 pF (Vgs = –0.5 V), the distance from
`points Bʹ to Aʹ in FIG. 4 becomes the matching loss.
`Incidentally, in this working example, at Cin =
`
`0.18 pF, the distance from points C1 to Cʹ in FIG. 4
`becomes the matching loss; in addition, at Cin = 0.22
`pF, the distance from points A1 to Aʹ in FIG. 4
`becomes the matching loss; therefore, in comparison
`with the conventional example, the matching loss
`becomes smaller. Comparing the above concretely
`yields Table 2. Note that the input reflection
`coefficient is that when viewing the FET side from the
`terminal 10 in FIG. 1 and FIG. 7. In addition, the
`values of the FET parameters are calculated by fixing
`all parameters other than Cin; however, the relative
`values of the gains and the input reflection coefficients
`between the conventional example and the present
`working example did not show large differences.

`The present

`example

`matching loss appears.
`

`surface area
`the Schottky electrode
`and
`approximately 1,000 μm2. The Schottky electrode of
`the diode 13 is connected to the bias terminal 15, and
`the other ohmic electrode is connected to the input
`transmission line 2.
`
`To the aforementioned bias terminal 15 is
`impressed a voltage Va lower than the gate-source
`voltage Vgs of the FET 1 (in the situation of a
`MESFET, typically 0 V to –1 V); in this working
`example, Va is set to –1.5 V.
`
`By constituting an input matching circuit as
`described above, the bias voltage Va is set to be lower
`than the gate-source voltage Vgs; therefore, by varying
`the Vgs, the capacitance of the diode 13 and the input
`capacitance of the FET are varied inversely.
`
`Note that, even in the situation of using a diode
`other than a diode that uses a Schottky barrier between
`an n-type semiconductor and metal, one would
`connect the diode such that the increase/decrease in
`the capacitance of the active element and the
`increase/decrease in the capacitance of the diode
`become inverse, thereby setting the control voltage Va.
`The aforementioned working example will now
`
`be described in greater detail, with z reference to the
`diode voltage/capacitance characteristic diagram
`shown in FIG. 3.
` When Rin = 8 Ω and Cin = 0.2 pF, the reflection
`coefficient (S11), viewing the FET from D in FIG. 1,
`becomes point B in FIG. 4, as described before. In
`order to match this S11, the characteristic impedance of
`the input transmission line 2 is 50 Ω, the electrical
`length is 67 degrees, and the capacitance of the diode
`is 1.0 pF. At this time, the reflection coefficient when
`viewing the diode side from D becomes the point Bʹ in
`FIG. 4, and therefore complex conjugate matching is
`achieved. However, the gate length of the FET 1 has
`dispersion, so Cin becomes 0.18–0.22 pF; and at this
`time, if the gate-source voltage Vgs becomes –0.5 V to
`–0.7 V respectively, then the S11 has dispersion over
`the range of points A–C in FIG. 4. However, in this
`working example, the diode 13 is used in this
`impedance matching circuit, so together with the
`change in Vgs, the capacitance of the diode 13 varies as
`shown in FIG. 3. That is, because of the dispersion in
`the gate length of the FET 1, Vgs varies from –0.5 V to
`–0.7 V; at that time, the capacitance of the diode 13,
`as shown by characteristic curve 31 in FIG. 3, becomes
`approximately 0.8–1.3 pF. Accordingly, when Vgs is –
`0.5, –0.6, and –0.7 V, the reflection coefficients when
`viewing the diode side from D in FIG. 1 become the
`points A1, B1, and C1 (× symbols) in FIG. 4. In
`addition, the points Aʹ, Bʹ, and Cʹ in FIG. 4 are the
`reflection coefficients
`that
`impart
`the complex
`conjugate impedance of S11 of the FET at Vgs of –0.5,
`–0.6, and –0.7 V.

`
`capacitance, the matching losses become small, and
`therefore the meritorious effect is obtained in that it is
`applicable not only to small-signal amplifiers but also
`to a wide range of microwave circuits such as large-
`signal amplifiers and voltage-controlled variable gain
`amplifiers.
`
`4. Brief Description of the Drawings
`
`FIG. 1 is a circuit diagram of an MMIC amplifier
`illustrating one working example of the present
`invention; FIG. 2 is a circuit diagram of an MMIC
`amplifier illustrating another working example of the
`present invention; FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating the
`voltage/capacitance characteristic of a diode; FIG. 4 is
`a diagram illustrating the dispersion in S11 and the
`reflection coefficient of the matching circuit with
`respect to the dispersion in the input capacitance of the
`FET; FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating the frequency
`characteristics of S11 and S22 of the FET; FIG. 6 is an
`FET equivalent circuit diagram; and FIG. 7 is a circuit
`diagram illustrating a conventional example of an
`MMIC amplifier.
`
`In the drawings, 1 is an FET, 2 is an input
`transmission line, 3 is an output transmission line, 13
`is a diode, and 15 is a control voltage-impressing
`terminal.

`if one appropriately selects
`Accordingly,
`capacitance of the diode 13 in the matching circuit, the
`dispersion in the gate capacitance of the FET is
`absorbed by the diode 13, thus acting to prevent
`worsening of the gain and reflection coefficient of the
`MMIC, and the yield of the MMIC also increases.
`
`FIG. 2 is a circuit diagram showing another
`working example of the present invention. The
`difference from the aforementioned working example
`in FIG. 1 lies in the points that a lower part 20 is
`connected to the input transmission line 2, a lower part
`21 is connected to the output transmission line 3, and
`these lower parts 20 and 21 also serve as the bias
`circuits of the FET 1. In the present working example,
`the diode 13 is connected in parallel to the FET 1
`without the input and output transmission lines 2 and
`3 interposed. Accordingly, when the gate activation
`voltage Vgs varies, by selecting the capacitance of the
`diode so as to compensate for change in the input
`capacitance of the FET 1, virtually no change arises in
`the capacitance at point E in FIG. 2, so there is no need
`to adjust the matching circuit. In addition, because the
`absolute value of the change in capacitance of the FET
`1 is small, the surface area of the diode 13 that
`compensates such can also be small. Moreover, the
`change in capacitance of the FET 1 and the diode 13
`occurs in the same phase, in contrast to FIG. 1, so even
`if a large signal is input from the input terminal 10, the
`diode 13 can compensate for the capacitance of the
`FET 1. Consequently, the microwave circuit of this
`FIG. 2 is applicable for power supplies with large
`amplitudes.
`Note that, in the aforementioned FIG. 1 and FIG.
`
`2, the present invention was explained with a focus on
`the input capacitance of the FET, but the present
`invention is in no way limited thereto but rather is also
`applicable to the FET output capacitance, bipolar
`transistors, or other active elements; in addition, the
`diode is not limited to one that uses a Schottky junction
`between the n-type semiconductor and metal, but
`rather it is also possible to utilize pn junction diodes
`and the like. In addition, the present invention is
`applicable not only to MMICs but rather the same
`effects can be obtained when applied to hybrid
`integrated circuits.
`
`[Effects of the Invention]
`
`According to the present invention as explained
`above, with a diode connected in parallel with an
`active element and a control voltage impressed on the
`diode and the active element, it is possible to
`compensate for dispersion in the capacitance of the
`active element, and therefore the effects of increasing
`the performance and yield of the MMIC are obtained.
`In addition, even if the bias point of the active element
`should change, by the diode compensating the
