“…A monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) [1]- [3] is a type of integrated circuit device that are dimensionally small (from around 1 mm² to 10 mm²) and can be mass-produced. MMICs used metal-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MESFETs) as the active device and more recently high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs), pseudomorphic HEMTs and hetero-junction bipolar transistors (HBTs).…”

novel structure of low phase noise and high output power monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) oscillator is presented in order to use it in 5G applications. The oscillator is based on the ED02AH process which allows us to design a microwave oscillator keeping a minimum size which is impossible to have it using other technologies since microwave oscillators are sensitive components above 20 GHz. The oscillator is studied, designed, and optimized on a GaAs substrate from the OMMIC foundry using the advanced design system (ADS) simulator in order to obtain a miniaturized oscillator (1.1×1.3 mm2) generating two signals of different frequencies fo1=26 GHz and fo2=30 GHz. The objective is to design an oscillator with high output power and low phase noise while respecting its specifications. The optimization of the proposed microwave oscillator shows satisfying results. Indeed, at 26 GHz and 30 GHz, the output powers are respectively 13.33 dBm and 14.89 dBm. The oscillator produces a sinusoidal signal of 1.5 V and 1.75 V amplitude respectively at 26 GHz and 30 GHz. The oscillator phase noise at fo1 and fo2 resonance frequencies using the liquid crystal (LC) resonator shows respectively -109 dBc/Hz and -110 dBc/Hz at 10 MHz offset.
