Research abstract
To meet the requirements of AF18A-T015 solicitation, MaXentric and University of California San Diego are proposing the development of a low loss, high linearity tunable bank of varactors. The tunable capacitor is targeting a compact integrated design, capable of a tuning range up to 10:1, with a minimum Q of 75, and handling up to 20W CW. During phase I, the team will (1) optimize the losses and the tuning range, (2) optimize the power handling and the linearity. This will be achieved with the use of novel, high-performance GaN varactors developed by UCSD, and the use of GaN HEMT process. During Phase II, the team will fabricate and demonstrate a tunable capacitor that can be used in a band-pass or band-stop filter.
