Abstract:
Disclosed is a gallium arsenide (GaAs) enabled tunable filter for, e.g., 6 GHz Wi-Fi RF Frontend, with integrated high-performance varactors, metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitors, and 3D solenoid inductors. The tunable filter comprises a hyper-abrupt variable capacitor (varactor) high capacitance tuning ratio. The tunable filter also comprises a GaAs substrate in which through-GaAs-vias (TGV) are formed. The varactor along with the MIM capacitors and the 3D inductors is formed in an upper conductive structure on upper surface of the GaAs substrate. Lower conductive structure comprising lower conductors is formed on lower surface of the GaAs substrate. Electrical coupling between the lower and upper conductive structures is provided by the TGVs. The tunable filter can be integrated with radio frequency front end (RFFE) devices.
