Microwave Device
Any device capable of generating, amplifying, modifying, detec
ting, or measuring microwaves, or voltages having microwave fr
equencies. Microwaves are within the frequency of 3 GHz to
about 300 GHz; because of their high frequency spectrum,
microwaves can carry large numbers of channels. They also
have short wavelengths from 10 cm to 0.1 cm
1. In comparison with Si bipolar junction transistors (BJTs), Microwave BJT show better
performance in terms of emitter injection efficiency, base resistance, base-emitter
capacitance, and cut-off frequency. They also offer good linearity, low phase noise and
high power-added efficiency. Microwave BJT are used in both
commercial and high-reliability applications, such as power amplifiers in mobile
telephones and laser drivers.
Difference b/w microwave devices and normal
devices
Advantages of Microwaves
•Supports larger bandwidth and hence more information is transmitted. For this reason,
microwaves are used for point-to-point communications.
•More antenna gain is possible.
•Higher data rates are transmitted as the bandwidth is more.
•Antenna size gets reduced, as the frequencies are higher.
•Low power consumption as the signals are of higher frequencies.
Difference b/w microwave devices and
normal devices
Disadvantages of Microwaves
•Cost of equipment or installation cost is high.
•They are hefty and occupy more space.
•Electromagnetic interference may occur.
•Variations in dielectric properties with temperatures may occur.
•Inherent inefficiency of electric power.
