Realization of Low in-Band Harmonic for Compact 6-18-GHz T/R Module Under TX-Mode Operation

Wideband high power amplifier(PA)with poor harmonic suppression will degrade the performance of the active electronically scanned array(AESA)due to its harmonic products falling into the operating bandwidth of a wideband T/R module.In view of this,a compact reconfigurable harmonic suppress circuit(HSC)is proposed to achieve low in-band harmonic for compact T/R module with multiple octaves under TX-mode operation.The HSC consists of eight microstrip resonant stubs with high impedance and multiple p-i-n switches.By controlling the p-i-n switches,the HSC can work in three states.When six of the used p-i-n switches are"ON"state,the corresponding microstrip resonant stubs are loaded onto the 50 Ω transmission line,which performs a bandstop filter(BSF).For verification,the HSC with bandwidth of 12-15 GHz/15-18 GHz is designed to apply to a 6-18 GHz T/R module.As a result,the second harmonic of 6-9 GHz transmitting signal can be suppressed below 32 dBc when compared to the PA's fundamental output.While the p-i-n switches are"OFF"state,the HSC is almost the same as a 50 Ω trans-mission line,which will have a little effect on the 9-18 GHz transmitting signal.The measurement results approxi-mately agree with the calculated results and simulated results,which demonstrate the validity of the proposed HSC.
