Abstract
In this letter, we present a Ka-band oscillator with flip-chip assembled 0.15-μm-gate pHEMT. With a characterized 0.15-μm-gate GaAs pHEMT and consideration of the Au-Sn pillar bump transition, the GaAs pHEMT was flip-chip assembled on A12O3 substrate where the passive components and coplanar waveguide connection were designed and fabricated. The measured output signal was at 27.55 GHz with an output power of 1.87 dBm and a phase noise of - 109 dBc/Hz at 1-MHz offset, respectively. To our knowledge, this is the first flip-chip assembled pHEMT oscillator in the Ka-band.
