Design of KU-band multifunctional converter MMIC

The article is devoted to the results of modeling a multifunctional frequency converter microcircuit developed on the basis of the GaAs pHEMT technological process with a topological norm of 0.25 μm by the scientific and educational center "Nanotechnology" of TUSUR [1]. The operating frequency range is 11-14 GHz, the power level is from -5 to 0 dBm, the conversion coefficient in each of the IF ports at a frequency of 0.1 GHz in the down conversion mode is at least -11 dB, the supply voltage of the microcircuit is 5 V, the consumption current is no more than 100 mA.
