HEMT CCD Matched Filter for Spread Spectrum Communication

摘要

An HEMT CCD (charge-coupled-device) matched filter for spread-spectrum communication was developed. For higher data rates, it was fabricated using a two-phase CCD based on HEMT technology. It operates at 1.6 GHz, and its calculated data rate is 100Mbps with a PN data length of 16 bits (PN data rate is 1.6 GHz). And it attains a charge transfer efficiency (CTE) of 0.975 at 2 GHz. The HEMT CCD matched filter dissipates 173 mW from a 10-V_(p-p) supply, and its chip size is 0.96 x 1.03 mm. It will thus be useful for optical communication and other high-data-rate applications utilizing spread-spectrum (SS) communication.
