Abstract :
The paper describes design, modeling and simulation of MCM technology based MM wave RF transceiver. Electrical imperfections of the circuit like non-linearity, gain compression, mixer inter modulation, spurious, harmonic level, gain/ level variation over frequency band have been simulated for the prediction of the performance based on dual conversion transmitter and receiver modules. To realize RF transceiver Multi Chip Module (MCM) technology has been used to integrate various complex functions MMIC/RFIC chips/packages on single substrates along with printed passive components. It has been found that MCM technology is optimum for the realization of high frequency RF front ends with SWAP (size, weight & power) constraints.
