Abstract :
A 24GHz MMIC (monolithic microwave integrated circuit) oscillator with an area consumption of only 280¿m. 360¿m including all biasing and probing pads is presented. To obtain this small size lumped elements were used. The oscillator was realized in the production line process offered by Temic Semiconductor GmbH using standard transistors and a low resistivity (20¿m) substrate [l]. The oscillation power is ¿5dBm and the phase noise at lMHz off-carrier is ¿108dBc/Hz.
