Abstract

The highest receiver sensitivity of -28.0 dBm was achieved by a combination of a superlattice APD with a large gain-bandwidth product (110 GHz) and a properly designed high-gain (63 dBΩ) HJFET TIA-IC. Greater than -26.5 dBm sensitivity was also successfully demonstrated over the wide wavelength range covering C- and L- bands and temperature range of 0 to 70 degC. by a successfully designed extremely small package with dimensions of 9.8 × 7.5 × 4.0 mm³ (only 0.3 cc).
