Varactors are often used in phase-locked-loop (PLL) circuits for dynamic frequency control.
However, the voltage and current ratings of varactors are too low to be used in most power …

This paper gives an assessment of old and new data relevant to the optical and electrical
performance of PureB photodiodes for application in the wavelength range 2 nm to 400 nm …

This article presents a compact integrated receiver front-end for phased-arrays at 5G
n257/n261 band (26.5-29.5 GHz) employing both a low-noise amplifier (LNA) and a novel …

This paper reviews special RF/microwave silicon device implementations in a process that
allows two-sided contacting of the devices: the back-wafer contacted Silicon-On-Glass …

In this paper, the potential of load adaptation for enhanced backoff efficiency in RF power
amplifiers (PAs) has been investigated through a 0.13-μm silicon-on-insulator (SOI) CMOS …

This article presents a novel synthesis procedure to implement variable-phase all-pass
networks (VP-APNs). The synthesis procedure is based on linear-phase all-pass transfer …

This paper places focus on the special properties of pure boron chemical-vapor deposition
(CVD) thin-film layers that, in several device applications, have recently been shown to …

The linearity response of a photoconductive switch on microstrip line is presented at 2GHz.
A silicon switch is exposed to incident signal power of up to 1W and controlled via …

The design of frequency-tunable amplifiers is investigated and the trade-off between
linearity, efficiency and tunability is revealed. Several tunable amplifiers using various …

In this letter, a junction varactor is presented with a large capacitance tuning range, while
providing very high linearity. Such varactors are extremely useful in adaptive RF …
