  • Abstract
    An MIC assembly for direct DQPSK demodulation at 14 GHz is described. A time delay of 16.6 ns (120 Mbit/s) is achieved by edge-coupled bandpass filters. Quadrature phase detection is provided by a novel MIC topology that causes RF and IF ports to occur in adjacent pairs. An electronic phase shifter provides near linear phase shift with bias voltage. Temperature compensation maintains the phase errors to within 5/spl deg/ for a 20/spl deg/C temperature change.
