4. Application Information
4.1 Detailed Description
NLTL-6273 belongs to Marki Microwave’s NLTL family of multipliers and non-linear
transmission lines. The NLTL product line consists of passive GaAs MMIC non-linear
transmission lines designed and fabricated with GaAs Schottky diode based varactors.
NLTLs take an input signal and create an impulse train of harmonics. Harmonic outputs
up to and beyond 40 GHz are generated by the NLTL. The NLTL-6273SM is the
packaged 5 mm QFN version of the NLTL-6273CH.
Port 1 supports L and S band input signals. Port 2 will output integer multiples of the
input signal (i.e., x2, x3, x4, …, x30) up to the 30th output harmonic or a maximum of 40
GHz. Higher harmonics can be generated but will be at a lower efficiency.
The operating conditions of the NLTL are extremely important to optimize performance.
High power inputs will increase the output power observed; however, the conversion
efficiency will decrease. This is increasingly true for higher input frequencies and at input
powers above the recommended limit. Optimal conversion efficiency of the NLTL is
achieved using a square wave input with a fast rise time. Doing so causes a degradation
in the 2nd output harmonic but otherwise improves the conversion efficiency at all other
harmonics.
NLTL-6273 requires no external DC bias. The self-bias of the diodes caused by the
rectified RF input signal is sufficient for operation. For the best performance, optimization
of the DC return path is recommended for each specific application to optimize the
harmonic output power distribution.
The phase noise of a non-linear transmission line is outstanding. If verification of
performance is necessary, the application circuit used and input conditions are extremely
important. NLTLs are AM sensitive. If there is excessive AM noise on the input of the
NLTL, observing the output of the NLTL will show excessive PM/phase noise because of
the high AM to PM conversion property of NLTLs.

4.2 Application Circuit
DC Path to Ground — An RF choke followed by a 15 Ω resistor should be used to provide a DC
path to ground on the input port of the NLTL. A shunt 1 μF capacitor is used to filter noise
generated by the resistor. This forms the circuit which self-biases the NLTL. The DC return to
ground removes DC rectified current created by high power RF signal injection. The DC path to
ground is provided within the S package. A conical coil inductor is recommended to push the self-
resonance frequency of the inductor past the operating bandwidth of the NLTL. The recommended
inductance value of the conical coil inductor is 50nH or higher.
Blocking Capacitor — A DC blocking capacitor on the output of the NLTL-6273’s integrated
circuit is necessary to prevent unwanted DC current flow from or to the output. If there is a DC
signal on the input, place a DC block on the input to avoid disrupting the self-biasing of the diodes.

5. Die Mounting Recommendations
5.1 Mounting and Bonding Recommendations
Marki MMICs should be attached directly to a ground plane with conductive epoxy. The
ground plane electrical impedance should be as low as practically possible. This will
prevent resonances and permit the best possible electrical performance. Datasheet
performance is only guaranteed in an environment with a low electrical impedance ground.
Mounting - To epoxy the chip, apply a minimum amount of conductive epoxy to the
mounting surface so that a thin epoxy fillet is observed around the perimeter of the chip.
Cure epoxy according to manufacturer instructions.
Wire Bonding - Ball or wedge bond with 0.025 mm (1 mil) diameter pure gold wire.
Thermosonic wirebonding with a nominal stage temperature of 150 °C and a ball bonding
force of 40 to 50 grams or wedge bonding force of 18 to 22 grams is recommended. Use
the minimum level of ultrasonic energy to achieve reliable wirebonds. Wirebonds should be
started on the chip and terminated on the package or substrate. All bonds should be as
short as possible <0.31 mm (12 mils).
Circuit Considerations – 50 Ω transmission lines should be used for all high frequency
connections in and out of the chip. Wirebonds should be kept as short as possible, with
multiple wirebonds recommended for higher frequency connections to reduce parasitic
inductance. In circumstances where the chip more than .001” thinner than the
substrate, a heat spreading spacer tab is optional to further reduce bondwire length and
parasitic inductance.
5.2 Handling Precautions
General Handling
Chips should be handled with care using tweezers or a vacuum collet. Users should take
precautions to protect chips from direct human contact that can deposit contaminants,
like perspiration and skin oils on any of the chip's surfaces.
Static Sensitivity
GaAs MMIC devices are sensitive to ESD and should be handled, assembled, tested, and
transported only in static protected environments.
Cleaning and Storage: Do not attempt to clean the chip with a liquid cleaning system or
expose the bare chips to liquid. Once the ESD sensitive bags the chips are stored in are
opened, chips should be stored in a dry nitrogen atmosphere.
