  30. On-wafer transmission line measurement above 100 GHz, Shuhei Amakawa, Amakawa, Shuhei; Katayama, Kosuke; Takano, Kyoya; Yoshida, Takeshi; Fujishima, Minoru, Thailand-Japan Microwave (TJMW), 2014/11/27, With Invitation, English, Bangkok, Thailand, It is well known that very long transmission lines are required to cover low frequencies by the thru-reflect-line (TRL) calibration algorithm, which also provides a solid foundation for propagation constant measurement. An obvious corollary might seem that only short lines are required to measure the propagation constant at high frequencies. Experimental results up to 325 GHz suggest that that is not the case. Very long lines are actually required to reliably evaluate the attenuation constant, especially above 100 GHz.
  31. Theory of gain and stability of small-signal amplifiers with lossless reciprocal feedback, Shuhei Amakawa, Asia-Pacific Microwave Conference (APMC), 2014/11/07, Without Invitation, English, Sendai, Japan, The gain and the stability of composite amplifiers consisting of a core 2-port amplifier and a lossless reciprocal embedding network is studied theoretically with particular interest in the design of near-fmax amplifiers. Design equations for finding an optimal embedding network that gives the highest MAG (maximum available gain) under a given stability requirement are presented. How such an embedding network could be synthesized is briefly sketched.
  32. Design of well-behaved low-loss millimetre-wave CMOS transmission lines, Shuhei Amakawa, 18th IEEE Workshop on Signal and Power Integrity (SPI), 2014/05/12, Without Invitation, English, Ghent, Belgium, It is a challenge to design single-mode transmission lines for above 100 GHz following strict design rules of modern CMOS processes. This paper reports characteristics of three types of microstrip lines in 65nm CMOS up to 325 GHz, designed with or without using an auto-dummy exclusion layer. The lowestloss design among the three is a shielded microstrip protected with an exclusion layer. The metal density requirement is met, as is commonly done, by placing sidewalls as far from the signal line as allowed by the design rules. The other two designs are microstrips without sidewalls or the exclusion layer. One of them has high-density auto dummy fill inserted by the foundry and shows significantly higher attenuation than the shielded microstrip. The other is filled with low-density fill that prevents auto dummy fill from being inserted. It is only marginally lossier than the shielded microstrip. The microstrips without sidewalls are found to exhibit more well-behaved attenuation especially above 100 GHz. The frequency dependence of the attenuation of the shielded microstrip, on the other hand, exhibits ripples, indicating possible presence of spurious modes. Attenuation constants estimated by multiline TRL (thru-reflect-line) from lines of various lengths indicate that the longest line measured should be very long, perhaps 2mm or longer, for the estimates to be reliable.
