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