TRP Work Plan 2005-2007 Description of Activities TEC-SB/7935/dc 12/Feb/09 TRP Reference: Title: T102-10ET GaN Highly Efficient HPA for X- and Ku-band SAR and Altimeter Applications Semiconductor components based on GaN material have already demonstrated unparalleled performances on laboratory level compared to classical GaAs based materials. The prospects are impressively good. The material properties are ideal for radar applications. Power levels can be achieved, which were in former times the domain of vacuum devices like travelling wave tubes. Within the framework of this activity an HPA device shall be designed, manufactured and tested for demonstration of high power handling capability at X and Ku-band. Deliverables: Technology demonstrator with the usual documentation Current TRL: TRL2 Target TRL: TRL3 Application Need/Date: TRL5 by 2010 Application/Mission: future SAR and altimeter missions Contract Duration: 24 months SW Clause : - Dossier0 Ref.: T-737 Consistency with Harmonisation Roadmap and Conclusions: Critical RF Payload Technologies TRP Reference: T102-11ET Title: GaN Self Protected LNA for X- and ku-band Radar Applications Semiconductor Components based on GaN material have already demonstrated unparalleled performances on laboratory level compared to classical GaAs based materials. The prospects are impressively good. The material properties are ideal for radar applications. GaN is very often only proposed for high power applications, although the material has excellent noise properties very close to GaAs based materials. The high breakdown voltage is of great importance because this allows save operation in the vicinity of high power levels, typical for all Radar applications. Limiter always needed in conjunction with GaAs devices will become unnecessary or only very simple device. Noise figure is going to improve. Furthermore if considered for integration in T/R Modules The power device and the LNA can be integrated on the same chip. Two chip or even single chip T/R modules become feasible with corresponding cost advantages. Deliverables: Tested demonstrator LNAs with and without on chip limiter in X and Ku band. Design and Test Documentation. Current TRL: TRL1-2 Target TRL: TRL3 Application Need/Date: TRL5 by 2010 Application/Mission: future SAR and altimeter missions Contract Duration: 18 months SW Clause : - Dossier0 Ref.: T-7737 Consistency with Harmonisation Roadmap and Conclusions: Critical RF Payload Technologies TRP Reference: T102-12EE Title: Innovative Low-loss FSS structures The objective of this activity is to develop an accurate computer model to design multi-layer mesh filters. The simulation tool will account for the effects of non-perfect element shapes, metal conductivity and slot thickness. Investigate potentially suitable novel materials and micromachining techniques and create controllable and repeatable fabrication routes with suitable structural properties. Investigate potentially suitable techniques to make all-metal FSS structures and create controllable and repeatable fabrication routes with suitable structural properties. This should be followed by preliminary fabrication trials and process optimization. Measurements will be performed to quantify the efficiency improvement and increased out of band rejection. If applicable, existing prediction tools will be updated to explain discrepancies with theory and experiment. Deliverables: FSS hardware, prediction tools, full performance report.

TRP Work Plan 2005-2007 Description of Activities TEC-SB/7935/dc 12/Feb/09 TRP Reference: Title: T102-14ET LNAs for mm-waves Objective of this activity is the development of low-noise amplifiers (LNAs) with improved noise performance for 183/220 GHz for application in future atmospheric sounders. Recent developments in Indium Phosphide (InP) and metamorphic (MHEMT) technologies have made LNAs possible for the frequencies above 100 GHz. First demonstrations, however, did not have sufficiently good noise performance. In addition to reducing the gate length close to 50 nm, optimisation of the fabrication process and device structure and geometry are needed for improvement. This activity aims to take benefit of the on-going developments of low-noise MMIC processes towards higher frequencies, and develop an LNA with improved noise performance. Deliverables: LNA Breadboard Current TRL: TRL1 Target TRL: TRL2 Application Need/Date: TRL5 by 2012 Application/Mission: Post-EPS, MTG Contract Duration: 24 months SW Clause : - Dossier0 Ref.: T-326 Consistency with Harmonisation Roadmap and Conclusions: TRP Reference: T102-16ET Title: HBV multipliers for high power and high frequency HBV multipliers are developed aiming at achieving high power capability at mm/sub-mm waves with high efficiency. One important advantage of Heterostructure Barrier Varactors (HBVs) over Schottky varactors is the possibility of tailoring the device to a desired power level by epitaxially cascading an appropriate number of barriers. This capability has never been explored in detail. An on-going TRP activity aims at achieving the understanding of the power limiting mechanisms, and to perform the initial development of HBV devices for very high power level. In the proposed activity, the objective is to reach an output power capability around 1 W at 100 GHz by further development of the multi-barrier devices, and establishing a suitable mounting technique. A demonstrator employing one or more of these devices will be designed, manufactured and tested.
