Abstract:
Monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs) with phase tuning are disclosed. A MMIC structure may include a MMIC amplifier with electrically coupled input and output lines. The MMIC structure may further include an adjustable cover over the MMIC amplifier that includes at least one portion that can be adjusted closer to or farther away from either the input or output lines. In this manner, a signal capacitance between the adjustable cover and the input or output lines is adjustable, and accordingly, a signal phase of the MMIC structure may be tuned. A spatial power-combining device may include a plurality of amplifier assemblies, wherein each amplifier assembly includes a MMIC amplifier with an adjustable cover. In this manner, the plurality of amplifier assemblies may be phase-tuned to a target value.

Claim (Index 1):
A monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) structure comprising:\n a substrate; a MMIC amplifier on the substrate; an input line and an output line on the substrate, wherein the input line and the output line are electrically coupled to the MMIC amplifier; and an adjustable cover over the MMIC amplifier, wherein:\n for a first configuration, a portion of the adjustable cover comprises a first spacing between the adjustable cover and the output line; and \n for a second configuration, the portion of the adjustable cover comprises a second spacing between the adjustable cover and the output line, wherein the second spacing is different than the first spacing.
