Abstract :
This paper presents the results of a monolithic, 12 GHz BPSK modulator which utilizes FETs as the switching elements. The performance of a QPSK modulator using two of the MMIC chips is also presented, and the results of key components to be used in a fully-integrated version are discussed.
