Abstract :
Receiver and transmitter package modules of 26-GHz-band, full MMIC (monolithic microwave integrated circuit) construction have been demonstrated using a uniplanar technique. Each module, including a phase-locked loop (PLL)-stabilized local oscillator, is packed into a single package that measures 1 cm/sup 3/. The receiver module consists of seven MMICs and has an RF-IF conversion gain of 25 dB and a noise figure of 7.5 dB. The transmitter module consists of seven MMICs and has an IF-RF conversion gain of 8 dB and an output power of 5 dBm. A novel, uniplanar MMIC power amplifier that is externally connected to the transmitter module has an output power of 20 dBm.<>
