About this book

This book adopts the latest academic achievements of microwave and millimeter-wave chips based on thin-film integrated passive device technology as specific cases. Coherent processes of basic theories and design implementations of microwave and millimeter-wave chips are presented in detail. It forms a complete system from design theory, circuit simulation, full-wave electromagnetic simulation, and fabrication to measurement. Five representative microwave and millimeter-wave passive chips based on TFIPD technology are taken as examples to demonstrate the complete process from theory, design, simulation, fabrication, and measurement, which is comprehensive, systematical, and easy to learn and understand, convenient to operate, and close to the practical application.

This book is mainly aimed at the design and simulation of microwave and millimeter-wave chips based on thin-film integrated passive device technology. On the basis of specific cases, it introduces the whole process from theory, design, simulation, optimization, fabrication to measurement of the balanced filter, microstrip filter, absorptive filter, power divider, and balun.

This book is suitable for the professional technicians who are engaged in the design and engineering application of microwave and millimeter-wave device chips. It can also be used as the textbook of electronic science and technology, electromagnetic field and microwave technology, electronic engineering, radar engineering, integrated circuit, and other related majors in colleges and universities.

Chapter 1. Design and Simulation of Balanced Bandpass Filter
Abstract
Filters are frequently employed in circuit systems as a type of key frequency selection device. Since external disturbances frequently interfere with communication systems, balancing filters with excellent common-mode (CM) suppression must be used to improve the anti-interference ability of the system and the quality of the communication. Additionally, the use of the thin-film integrated passive device (TFIPD) technology in microwave passive devices can reduce the circuit size. In this chapter, we will discuss the fundamental principles of lumped-element balanced bandpass filters based on the TFIPD technology, as well as how to use the ADS software to create, simulate, and optimize the ideal parameter simulated model of the balanced bandpass filter and the corresponding full-wave electromagnetic simulated model.

Chapter 2. Design and Simulation of Millimeter-Wave Microstrip Bandpass Filter
Abstract
As an important component of microwave millimeter wave circuit systems, filters are widely used. With the fast advancement of the 5G mobile communication infrastructure in recent years, the millimeter-wave spectrum has got more attention. In order to promote the development and construction of communication networks, researchers are committed to the design of filters operating at the millimeter-wave band. In this chapter, a millimeter-wave microstrip bandpass filter based on the TFIPD technology will be introduced. This filter with a simple structure only consists of two coupled lines and a stepped-impedance open-circuited stub. The basic theory of the millimeter-wave microstrip bandpass filter will be covered in this chapter, along with the construction, simulation, and optimization of its ideal simulated model and full-wave electromagnetic simulated model using the ADS software.

Chapter 3. Design and Simulation of Input-Absorptive Bandstop Filter
Abstract
As a two-port frequency-selective device in the RF front-end, filters have been widely investigated in the bandpass, bandstop, and reconfigurable types, etc. In cases of significant interferences, the absorptive bandstop filter shows better stopband absorption and lessens the effect of RF signal power reflected on the performance of adjacent components. This chapter will describe the fundamental principles of an input-absorptive bandstop filter based on TFIPD technology. The input-absorptive bandstop filter's fundamental theories will be covered in this chapter, along with how to construct, simulate, and improve its ideal simulated model and full-wave electromagnetic simulated model using the ADS software. Finally, measurements and analyses of the measured results are performed on the manufactured input-absorptive bandstop filter chip.

Chapter 4. Design and Simulation of Impedance-Transforming Power Divider
Abstract
Power dividers are widely applied in antenna arrays, mixers, and power amplifiers as a crucial passive component in modern microwave and communication systems. In order to adapt to the broadband requirement of modern RF/Microwave communication systems, various wideband power dividers have been extensively studied over the past few years. In this chapter, we will propose an ultraminiaturized impedance-transforming power divider based on the TFIPD technology and show how to construct, simulate, and optimize its ideal simulated model and full-wave electromagnetic simulated model using the ADS software. The proposed impedance-transforming power divider chip is packed, and the measured results are examined.

Chapter 5. Design and Simulation of Bandpass Filtering Marchand Balun
Abstract
In modern wireless communication systems, baluns can be used in any circuit design that requires two balanced outputs such as balanced mixers, balanced multipliers, broadband antennas, etc. The Marchand balun is one of the most classic baluns which has been continuously optimized. Besides, the research on balun combined with the filtering performance is also attractive. In this chapter, we will introduce a novel bandpass filtering Marchand balun which consists of a classic balun and a filter as the front stage. The basic theories and the methods of establishment, simulation, and optimization of the ideal simulated model and full-wave electromagnetic simulated model utilizing the ADS software are demonstrated in detail. Finally, the manufactured bandpass filtering Marchand balun chip is packaged and measured, and the measured results are also analyzed.
