Abstract :
In this paper, several novel techniques for minimizing chip area are presented. In order to demonstrate these features, we have developed a three stage W-band amplifier. This MMIC exhibits more than 15 dB gain from 75 GHz to 90 GHz, and size of this MMIC is less than 0.5 mm/sup 2/. We have also designed and fabricated a single chip 77 GHz T/R MMIC for automotive radar. This MMIC includes 25 active circuits in one chip, and size of this MMIC is less than 8.5 mm/sup 2/.
