Abstract :
This paper describes a temperature compensated L-band GaAs MMIC successive detection logarithmic amplifier featuring low power consumption. The amplifier achieved log-linearity of ±2.5 dB and a dynamic range of 60 dB over a 100°C temperature range. This device shows no sacrifice of performance over larger, labor intensive hybrid MIC approaches
