Abstract :
A set of three commercial MMICs in coplanar environment have been developed, realized and tested successfully as cost effective basis for application in 25 GHz sensors. The circuits are designed using a coplanar component library which has been developed at the IMST and was seamlessly integrated into a commercially available circuit design program (HP-EEsof´s LIBRA).
