摘要
We report the first irradiation results on high-frequency SiGe HBT and CMOS phase shifters for space- based, phased-array antennas used in radar or wireless communication systems. Both phase shifter circuits remain functional with acceptable dc and RF performance up to multi-Mrad proton exposure, and are thus suitable for many orbital applications. In addition, simulation results probing the limits of phase shifter performance in a radiation environment are presented. These results show that both CMOS and SiGe HBT based phase shifters can be used for space-based applications without any specific radiation hardening techniques.
