Abstract :
In a first part, a review of basic monolithic circuits which are used in telecommunications under 20 GHz is done : low noise amplifiers, voltage controlled oscillators, phase shifters and mainly the mixers which are specific to this application. Then, some examples of circuits working at higher frequencies are given. Starting from these basic circuits complete monolithic subsystems are now in development. Representative examples are described.
